A captivating, complex and alluring Pinot Noir, this Hotshot is Holm Oak's flagship and it is more than worthy of that title.
Built around a large portion of clone 777, complemented by D4V2 and MV6 (45/36/18), with the use of whole bunches and 14 months in French oak, it delivers remarkable delicacy and poise. Tea tree and pine needles introduce an alluring savoury edge before red and dark cherries and ripe strawberries glide across the palate. Subtle dark chocolate notes add depth, while fine spices quietly mingle with the fruit. There's a beautiful sense of restrained tension here, creating a platform for effortless drinkability before carrying the wine into a long, sustained finish. Every sip reveals another layer, balancing elegance, purity and composure with ease. A beautifully handled Pinot Noir that leaves a lasting impression without ever raising its voice.
