Stemmler wines are handcrafted, limited releases of estate varietals grown on The Donum Estate. The 2008 Estate Grown pinot noir is a blend of six of our blocks planted to predominantly heritage selections and comprises Dijon, Martini, Roderer, Calera, Hanzell and Swan. Like a spice rack, each selection influences aromatics and flavor creating a pinot noir which is balanced, richly fragrant and layered.
This Pinot Noir offers many layers of beautiful ripe strawberry, raspberry and intense black cherry and plum aromas mingled with hints of cola, forest floor and earth. The wine is fleshy, sleek and spicy, with copious wild berry, black cherry and strawberry flavors, good grip and a sustained, well-balanced finish.--Winemakers Note
This aromatic red shows smoke, mahogany and sandalwood notes that carry all the way through the finish. Smooth, rich flavors of black cherry, boysenberry and wild strawberry are expressive, concentrated and refined. Drink now through 2018.--Wine Spectator
