Ghost Corner Pinot Noir 2018

A beautifully crafted Pinot noir with prominent red fruit of ripe cherries and sweet raspberries with an undertone of earthy, mushroom nuances. A silky palate with berries and delicate oak components following through.

To be enjoyed on its own, but well paired with a mushroom soup or crispy duck and chicken dishes.
