Description
Powerful aromas of red and black fruits overlay a base note of dried herbs, spice and cedar. The flavour profile is a combination of savory and spice, with rich and ripe flavours, all with precise pinot noir detail. Tannins are elegant and silky, leaving a lasting impression of texture, concentration and not least; the definitive Southern Valleys of Marlborough clays character.
Fruit was sourced from two clay bound vineyards (Gum Emperor and Somerset blocks) in the southern Waihopai Valley.
Handpicked fruit was gently destemmed into small open top fermenters retaining a large proportion of whole berries. A pre-fermentation soak averaging 5 days preceded a warm and rapid indigenous fermentation where temperatures spiked between 30- 33 C. All batches were hand plunged. Post primary fermentation the young wines averaged 14 days on skins totaling up to 30 days before being pressed to a mixture of new and older French oak barrels for natural malolactic fermentation and maturation.
This wine is named Vintage Widow in recognition of our families, who are often forgotten at vintage as we strive to make the perfect bottle of Pinot Noir.
