Product Notes

Exuding exceptional elegance, Lutum Gap's Crown Pinot Noir wine is an exquisite exploration of sophisticated flavours. This vino boasts a vibrant, inviting ruby red hue, inviting a taste. Each sip reveals complex layers that unfold with dark berry fruit notes, underlined by subtle hints of earthy tobacco and spice, elevating the enchanting depth of the wine. Its body is comprehensive yet silky, beautifully balanced with refined tannins and a lasting, rich finish. An excellent accompaniment to hearty dishes, or to be savoured alone, this Pinot Noir is indeed a brilliant testament to Lutum Gap's wine-crafting prowess.

Tasting Notes

From the lovely Petaluma Gap site, this wine is a mix of menthol, forest floor and noble reduction—totally savory in style. Moderately concentrated and ultimately fresh in bright acidity, it has a thickness of wild strawberry and cherry and a length of cardamom spice
