Description

  • French oak
  • Black cherry & plum
  • Perfumed florals
  • Balanced tannins

"Medium purple, lighter on the rim. The nose is soft and fresh with sweet aromas of blackcurrant and cherry, melded with herb and earthy hints. Medium-bodied, red cherry and blackcurrant aromas entwined with thyme, liquorice, dark chocolate, earth and spice. Finely extracted tannins provide a smooth, textured mouthfeel; dark herbs and spices accompany earthy elements lending a savoury, rich closing. This earthy Pinot Noir shows rich, dark aromas with balanced freshness and a lengthy finish" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, May 2023

Deep Dark Garnet red. A mix of complex ripe fruit aromas and perfumed florals with darker notes underneath. Black cherries and aromatic perfumed plum flavours. A perfectly balanced tannin and fruit synergy gives drive and length the the palate. The finish is long and savoury with complex briny notes and a hint of toasty oak. Enjoy now or if you if you are a patient appreciator of wine you can cellar for 5+ years.

Single vineyard harvested from the Cowslip valley vineyard in Waihopai Valley. Hand harvested and fermented in small open top fermenters. Matured in French oak barrels for 7 months.
