OTQ Pinot Noir

"Once again Jules Taylor shows her proclivity for making fine wine with this example. Aromas an flavours of dark plum and balck cherry fruit set against a backdrop of barrel spice, baking spice and stony mineral qualities. A dry wine touches the palate briefly before the flavours and textures of baking spice laced red berry fruits race to the fore. Fine polished tannins and acidity set the structure of youth firmly in place. Well made (naturally) with best drinking from 2026 through 2033+."

"Gorgeously ripe and perfumed, the bouquet shows dark plum, warm spice, violet, cedar and subtle game notes, leading to a concentrated palate that's succulent and fleshy. Generous and plush, while remaining harmonious and structured. Tannins are finely polished and in abundance, framing the wine seamlessly with a sustained engaging finish."

"Made 'On The Quiet', the deeply coloured, purple-flushed 2021 vintage (5*) was grown in the Wrekin Vineyard, in the Southern Valleys. A powerful but already highly approachable red, it has concentrated, ripe cherry, plum and spice flavours, savoury notes adding complexity, and a long, well-structured finish. Set for a long life, it should be at its best 2026+."

"A rich and fruity pinot with sweet strawberries, cloves, anise and dark cherries on the nose. Medium-bodied with plush and creamy tannins. Soft, fruity finish."

"From an excellent vintage this Wrekin Vineyard wine has a concentrated, ripe, varietal and fruity bouquet with aromas of dark almost black cherry and raspberry, smoky oak and toasty baking spices of vanilla and clove. On the palate - tense, ripe, poised, youthful, fruity and dry. Flavours of dark cherry and baked raspberry, velvet roses and plum. Tannins are firm and youthful with a coarse satin texture, medium+ acidity and lengthy finish. A wine that is best in your cellar till late 2021/early 2022 and will reward through 2028+."

"Made ‘On The Quiet’, the bold 2019 vintage (5*) has a certain ‘Wow!’ factor. Matured for nine months in French oak barriques, it has dark, purple-flushed colour. Almost Syrah-like, it is packed with plummy, spicy flavours, but retains gracefulness, with fine, supple tannins. Likely to be long-lived, it should be at its best 2023+."
