TASTING NOTES
The 2020 hails from estate-grown fruit from an east-facing block planted in 1998 (where organic practices are employed). The fruit was fermented wild in open-top fermenters with a 15% whole-bunch inclusion lending an impressive aromatic lift. Maturation took place mainly in old barriques with a small portion (15%) in new—Michael Downer is seeking complexity from fruit rather than oak.
At a comparatively low 13.5% alcohol, Downer explains 2019 has ticked all the boxes: fresh fruit, tension, and bright acidity as well as firmer tannins than some previous releases. It has broody yet bright fruit notes cut with tapenade and spice, flowing to a juicy and long finish. Like “Pinot on steroids”. This is a great wine for the money.
