Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
‘Aster’ has a bright floral nose, with notes of red fruits (strawberries and redcurrant). Those red fruits flow through to the palate too. ‘Aster’ is light-bodied with soft, silky tannins, and an excellent partner with duck pancakes. On a hot day, enjoy it slightly chilled. VEGAN FRIENDLY

Vineyard Notes
The 2022 growing season was as close to ideal as you could wish for, with above-average winter and early spring rains, followed by a cool, dry summer. This led to a later-than-usual veraison and harvest, resulting in high-quality fruit across all varieties.
Winemaking
Winemaker Notes
Our aim with ‘Aster’ is to make a lighter style of Pinot Noir. One way to do this is to throw whole bunches into the ferment (all the other grapes are crushed after being picked) which gives fragrance and perfume and adds a bit of strength and firmness to the tannins. The wine is aged in older oak barrels to maintain its delicate structure and bottled early to preserve its vibrant character.
