Bloodwood Pinot Lovers

Sex in a glass… in a vat
Bloodwood Pinot Noir is very sensitive and is the most responsive of all our grapes to varying weather conditions. Each year’s climate yields a slightly different emphasis, flavour profile and mouth feel, however all have or develop a distinctive Pinosity, ours is of a lady’s old handbag, a bit of perfume, lipstick and worn leather. (Don’t know where this leaves “the sex in a glass” analogy for Pinot Noir?)
