2024 Sailor Seeks Horse Huldufolk Pinot Noir
Named after the "hidden people" of Icelandic folklore, the Huldufólk is exactly that - a tiny, single-barrel release that Paul and Gilli only bottle when a particular parcel feels entirely complete on its own. For the 2024 vintage, that standout was a lone one-year-old barrel of Clone 115 Pinot Noir.
While the 2024 season in the Huon was famously low-cropping due to the intense dry spell and heat, this wine managed to capture a sense of calm. It’s an enveloping Pinot that swaps the high-wire tension of some of their other labels for a more plush, seamless flow. Think pomegranate, plum, and rose petals, underpinned by a distinct ferrous, iron-filing earthiness that grounds the fruit.
This is as limited as it gets - a quiet standout from an outstanding vintage. If you want to experience Sailor Seeks Horse at its most refined and precise, this is the bottle to seek out.
