Pinot Noir The Abyss, Churton 2017

A linear and fine-tannined pinot with sliced strawberries, hibiscus and rose stems. Medium-bodied with a beautiful, tight palate and a long, vivid finish. Floral. Still closed, but displaying attractive energy. Drink now.

Enticing aromas of ripe forest fruits and sweet spices with smoky, toasty oak. The palate is earthy with crunchy fruits and savoury complexity on the finish.

Our 2017 The Abyss Pinot Noir has an amazingly aromatic and floral nose. Complex musk rose and chamomile fragrances give way to soft red fruit, a hint of spice and earth tones. In the mouth it is soft and sinuous, with a lightness of touch that belies its depth and complexity. Silky mouth- coating tannins temper the long fruit driven finish. This wine is the quintessential iron fist in a velvet glove.
