Pinot Noir Reserve 2021 - Chateau Avli

A 100% Pinot Noir Reserve from Chateau Avli, made from the estate's own 20-year-old vines in the village of Glushnik, on clay-stony soils mixed with sand and stones such as granite, limestone, gneiss and silicate.

A limited series of hand-picked grapes grown with reduced yields, the 2021 aged for 12 months in new French barrels and 12 months in bottle. Decant for about an hour and a half before serving.

Refined garnet in colour, with mocha, butter, vanilla and toast on the nose and a balanced palate of silky tannins, ripe forest fruit and delicate herbs. Serve at 16 °C with creamy French dishes, rabbit or goat's cheese.
