Description
This is a fabulous medium bodied fruit-driven Red wine. This wine combines appealing fruit richness with a savoury undertone, displaying aromas of red-Black plums, raspberries and boysenberries. Sotf on the nose, the effect of the oak maturation is subtle developing silky tannins. It is nicely weighted and textured on the palate with lovely generosity, the finish lingering, spicy and delicately dry.
The 2015 was a dry growing season, but with sufficient rains early in the spring, and good conditions at flowering leading to a normal fruit set. The Summer was hot, dry and sunny, and the fruit ripened steadily into vintage. Fruit cropping levels were about “normal” at 6.5t/ha.
The fruit was de-stemmed and fermented in stainless steel fermenters, where it went through a controlled fermentation using french yeasts. The cap was plunged up to 3 times a day during fermentation. Once finished, it spent some time on the lees, cooled and was pressed off to barrels. It aged for 10 months in 20% new french oak barriques, from Mercurey and Sylvain, to enhance the tannin structure and develop a real depth of flavour and palate weight to the wine.
Food Pairing: Fine New Zealand Lamb, Asian Duck and Chicken dishes, Seafood dishes such as Salmon, Teraki, and Tapas including Chorizo, patatas bravas, pimientos asados or simply drunk for pleasure!

An interesting Marlborough Pinot. Soft tannins and full of flavour. Went down very well with the lockdown slow roasted leg of lamb!
