A phenomenally individualistic wine, and the most emblematic Pinot Noir from Place of Changing Winds. Tension runs through every seam: sleek and structured, with high-toned blueberry, hedgerow fruits, cut flowers, Indian spices, vanilla and mint, balancing sweet and savoury. There’s a brooding, elemental quality beneath a shroud of smoky, flinty reduction, hinting at greater beauty still to emerge. Seamless, savoury and tangy, with fabulous, pliable tannins, it has real size, energy and thrust, yet weighs in at just 12% alcohol. Thoroughly gastronomic. This is a classic for decades to come.
The 2024 Between Two Mountains is one of the finest and most seductive Pinot Noirs we’ve produced so far. It comes from several high-density parcels (between 10k/ha and 25k/ha), including those that sometimes produce our Beyond The Forest cuvée. You can expect a fleshy yet vibrant, complex and hedonistic Pinot. Although it’s powerful, it’s also a wine of great perfume and finesse, and it’s already approachable (although it will certainly age well). It was matured for nearly 30 months: the first two years in oak, then 6 months in tank, all the while building depth and complexity. We used a range of barrel sizes (228, 300, and 600 litres), with around 20% new. As always, no fining and no filtration.

Every year, it’s a tussle to decide my preference; Sangreal or Farrside. A warmer, even vintage 2024, without extremes and there seems a certain evenness to the two pinots, they are so well appointed. Another feature of this release is their apparent openness, so much so that I cannot remember these two wines tasting so […]

The altitude and cool air from the forest help moderate the climate here, resulting in slow ripening and flavour development, while […]
