The journey

Our dear Randa; we both love and hate you! But ok ok, the love we have for you by far outweighs your complicated Nature... 

This year Pinot Noir's fiddle soul was actually kind of gentle with us. So much that we have barely done anything here but carefully process the grapes, bringing Nature directly into your glass. 

As our vines get older and we gain experience we learn to manage both our vineyards and vinifications more precisely. This was something we noticed very much with the 2023 Pinot Noir, where we usually have a challenge balancing tannins, acidity, fruit, charm and well, make a great wine basically, a Pinot Noir in Binivista style basically!

Already during the early barrel tastings it was clear that we had an unusually easy job ahead of us here. And thus, for the very first time in the history of Randa all 2023 barrels were blended together! And spiced up with a tiny tiny dash of 250 liters of each Barrel 21 and Barrel 72 ww had left from 2022 as "reserve wines". 

How does Randa 2023 taste? 

What a nose! It’s making me salivate, literally! I really have to focus here to actually get something written down before just taking a big sip :-D

The nose is so juicy and packed with the sweetest prettiest ripe red berry fruit and pip of peach. A touch of mint leaves, sweet licorice and nutmeg adds further complexity.

It’s super rewarding on the palate with the same gorgeous fruit and spicy notes from the nose that creates a wonderful backbone together with the finely knit tannins and ripe juicy acidity. We really hit jackpot this year with our pure Pinot Noir. Silky, charming and with plenty of intellect!

How to best enjoy Randa 2023

This is a jazzy wine, makes me want to listen to romantic soft jazz or bossa nova! Serve in big Burgundy glasses and head to the kitchen while the music sets the scene (and mood) for whipping up a beautiful dish with seared duck breast, braised beetroot, steamed spinach with nutmeg and a drizzle of “jus” from the duck.
