Description
- French oak
- Wild berries
- Mocha spice
- Fine tannins
"The wine is sweetly fruited and seductively savoury, showing dried cherry, plum, vanilla, dark mushroom, olive and roasted nut aromas on the nose, followed by a juicy palate that is silky-smooth and lingering. It is beautifully rounded and flowing to a lengthy velvety finish, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2019
This 2017 Pinot Noir shows a rich brooding aroma of dark wild berries, red fruit and an alluring mocha spice finish. On the palate there are layers of scrumptious fruit and fine tannins, with a rich mid palate.
This Single Estate Pinot Noir has been crafted from low-yielding vines from the winemakers site in the Southern Valleys of Marlborough. Vintage 2017 was a year for early ripening varieties like Pinot Noir. The ripening season was one that really suited Pinot Noir, flowering was light and the fruit was exposed. This not only helped keep the fruit clean but also accelerated ripeness. Fruit was hand harvested in four separate lots, picked at optimum ripeness.
Ferment was 12 to 16 days, peaking at 28°C, before all the juice was pressed into French oak, of which 25% was new. Malolactic fermentation occurred over the winter, with the wine being pulled off lees in March. From there it was lightly filtered to preserve its pretty, delicate fruit and its tannin ntegrity before bottling.separately with long slow cool ferments of approximately 14 days.
Food Pairing: The bright fresh red fruits on the palate make this wine the perfect accompaniment to game, such as wild rabbit, thar or deer.

Nice Pinot. Not quite as concentrated as the blurb, but still good.
