TASTING NOTES
Conspiracy of Ravens Pinot Noir whispers tales of mystery and intrigue. Aged in concrete eggs, this wine captures the essence of elegance and complexity, weaving a narrative as rich and layered as its flavors.
Pale ruby with the intensity of the colour bestowing a vivid, bejewelled quality to the wine. Laden with the berry richness of blueberry, black currant, and wild cherry, it reveals more spicy layers of rhubarb and Szechuan pepper as it evolves in the glass, etched with aromatic notes of violets and lavender. Freshly tilled earth and dried porcini add a vivid savoury tone.
The wine coats every crevice in your mouth with its porcelain tannin and tart acidity.
There is purity with an ethereally sweet and sour balance coiled around a mineral centre. Elegant and surefooted, conspiring to become much, much more.
Food pairing: Roast duck with asparagus and duck fat potatoes conspires beautifully with this Pinot noir. Serve slightly chilled.
The label tells a twisted story: three ravens bound together by a gold thread —one around the eyes, one around the ears, and one around the beak—echoing the legend of see no evil, hear no evil, and say no evil. Hidden on each side, two additional ravens pull at the same golden thread, adding to the intrigue and their silent conspiracy.
This wine is a marvel—but keep it between us.
