The Wines

Potpourri, mountain black cherry, winter spices, rosewood: These are just a few of the aromas that saunter out of the glass and into the senses with this vintage of estate Pinot Noir.

A twist of spice tingles beside crackling acid; together they are the frame for juicy fruit and tannins that linger through a finish paved with minerality.

Coming from a single plot of our oldest own-rooted pommard clones; what an intoxicating wine. Chockablock with ripe red fruits, sous bois and just the right dose of new French oak. 

In between looking and tasting are Seven Springs’ classic aromas: yellow tree fruits à la Meyer lemon, Asian pear, Golden Delicious; with subtle white flower and salted pie crust accents.

Tart, salty yellow fruits that sail through the palate. Mouthwatering, zippy and poised, La Source speaks to the electric side of the world’s top white grape.

The wine is elegance. Ripe tree fruit, white flowers, roasted hazelnut and flint are just the entry to a cuvée of volume and delicacy, concentration and well-integrated oak in a svelte frame.

Rainier cherry, strawberry Bon Bon and red flowers are the liftoff for juiciness that builds itself around a line of tangy spice and acidity.

Medium-bodied and forward, juicy red fruit seesaws with loamy earth through the tense finish.

Warming aromas of apple of apple butter and Maldon on toast balanced by a cool stoniness play well on the palate, which is flush with energy, almost pulsating on the teeth with just persistent, mouthwatering zest and a hint of spritz.

Passetoutgrain is produced from a co-fermented blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay sourced from the iron-rich basalt soils of Seven Springs.

The nose and palate bear this out, as white strawberry, tangerine peel, puff pastry and delicate mineral aromas lead to a taste of supple texture with citrusy, almost perfumed qualities and a real punchiness.

A nutty, creamy quality comes through on the palate, which is delightfully brisk but not so awash in bubbles as to miss intense minerality and texture from the lees, all of which wrap up in a mouthwatering lemony snap.

While grown in a cooler, more shaded part of the estate, this Chenin Blanc is affable and warm.

Impenetrable aromas of purple sage, blueberry coulis, peppered jerky and bark spices that plume from the glass.
