About Scotchmans Hill Cornelius Norfolk Pinot Noir 2018
The Scotchmans Hill Cornelius Norfolk Pinot Noir 2018 opens with an inviting and complex bouquet of dark cherry, dried rose petals, and a whisper of forest floor earthiness. On the palate, this Bellarine Peninsula expression is silky and refined, delivering layers of red and black cherry, raspberry compote, and subtle plum, framed by fine-grained tannins and a gentle savoury undercurrent of dried herbs and spice. The oak integration is seamless, lending a touch of warm cedar and vanilla without overwhelming the delicate fruit character. A wine of genuine elegance and regional typicity, reflecting the cool maritime influence of the Bellarine Peninsula.
