Description
This Mystery Pinot is a beautiful dark garnet red in the glass. On the nose it offers aromas of ripe red cherry, black Kalamata olive and dried herb interweave with floral notes, spice and fresh coffee. Whilst the palate showcases lively red cherry and ripe blackcurrant flavours combine with toasted spice creating a delicious round full texture and a long savoury finish.
The fruit for this Mystery wine was sourced from a number of specifically chosen low cropping vineyards planted in the Southern Valleys area of Marlborough. Leading up to harvest each vineyard was closely monitored and tasted to determine when the flavours were at their optimum before harvesting in the cool of the morning. At the winery each batch was held cold for five days prior to fermentation to help with colour and flavour extraction. After processing this Mystery drop was matured off gross lees in either stainless steel tanks or a mixture of new and older seasoned French oak. The wine underwent 100 per cent malolactic fermentation before being prepared for bottling. Drinking well upon release, this wine can be enjoyed young and will continue to mature and develop complexity for the next four or five years.
Food pairing: Perfect with smoked salmon, new potatoes and fresh summer greens.
