Description
"From a single vineyard in Marlborough’s southern valleys, where soils have significant amounts of silt and gravel and often higher levels of clay, and the climate is said to be generally cooler than the Wairau Valley with lower rainfall. Sourced from four traditional organic Pinot Noir clones, the wine was made with a light touch, minimal handling and a little exposure to French oak, aiming for early and easy drinking. Bright aromas, loads of cherry with hints of marzipan sweetness, raspberry and redcurrant too. A frank and unadorned style, bags of fresh fruit on the palate though with a gentle seasoning of vegetal, farmyardy Pinot character in the background. No need to think too hard, just enjoy. Great value" Decanter
"Brightly fruited and attractively fragrant, the bouquet shows dark cherry, raspberry, floral, mixed spice and almond characters, followed by a juicy palate that is beautifully rounded and supple. The wine offers sweet berry flavours with elegant spicy complexity, finishing long and smooth. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
