Llanerch Limited Edition Pinot Noir (6 Bottles) Pontyclun, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales

£180.00
by Wines by Cellars

This still red wine, with its pale to medium colour, offers a visual preview of its exquisite character. Elevated in acidity with fine, soft tannins, it delivers a symphony of red fruit flavours—strawberry, cherry, raspberry, and cranberry. This creates a smooth yet nuanced profile, perfect for those who appreciate the delicate complexity of a well-crafted Pinot Noir.
