Puppet Master Pinot Noir, Western Australia
The nose is an attractive bouquet of sweet cherry, plums, cinnamon spice and a hint of rosemary. Red berry fruits, clove and anise spice and a silky mouthfeel combine to enliven the palate.
Well balanced acidity and elegant tannin structure deliver vibrancy of flavour and a persistent finish.

Winemaking
Typically vinified in small batch lots which are kept separate throughout fermentation and maturation. After cold soak, the ferments were hand plunged or pumped over 2-4 times daily with temperatures rising to 30ºC, which aids flavour and colour extraction. The wine is partially barrel fermented and then matured in older French barrels for 8 months before blending, fining and bottling.

Red berry fruits, clove and anise spice and a silky mouthfeel combine to enliven the palate. Well balanced acidity and elegant tannin structure deliver vibrancy of flavour and a persistent finish to this wine.
