"From certified organic vines 33–36 years old; 10% whole bunch; maturation in seasoned hogsheads. Pinot noir is hardly a Vale calling card, but this is a commendable expression. Picked early enough for varietal clarity, this is both fresh and savoury, with some mature tannin depth. At the tariff, there’s not a lot of pinot noir around that feels of place. This does, though the place certainly imparts an Italianate, savoury ‘pinot nero’ feel."

Spring Seed 'Aster' Pinot Noir 2022
A delightful fresh and stylish wine full of charm and poise; it is brilliantly showy in the glass. Aster Pinot Noir has a delicate, perfumed nose of bright red fruits with a fresh, juicy and characterful palate.
