fresh raspberry and dark pastille lolly are layered with forest floor savoury notes
with tannins that are present yet velvety
shaped by the vintage’s natural tension and the cuvée’s Chardonnay‑driven finesse

Delamere Flyleaf Pinot Noir Butcher's Hill fresh raspberry and dark pastilleThe palate is bright, silky, and beautifully poised, opening with red cherry, wild strawberry, and raspberry before moving into a cool, savoury layer of dried herbs, rose petal, and subtle forest floor. The 2025 vintage shows that classic Pipers River tension: fine, chalkedged tannins and lively, crystalline acidity that give the wine precision without austerity. A faint thread of spice, crushed stone, and subtle oak sweetness adds quiet complexity.
