"Sweetly fruited and nicely fragrant, the bouquet shows spiced cherry, olive, anise and dark mushroom characters. It's smooth and soothing on the palate with supple mouthfeel and fine texture, backed by mellow tannins, finishing long and attractively savoury. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2020
This is an elegant and complex style of Marlborough Pinot Noir. It exhibits aromatics and flavours of red fruits including cherry and plum with notes of herbs and liquorice. With its subtle oak influence, this is a fruit forward style and a fine match with food.
This Mystery Pinot is a blend of fruit from sub-regions of the Wairau Valley. The soils are a mix of stony river gravels and glacial deposits in the Awatere and heavier clays in the Wairau. The vines are trained on an upright vertical shoot positioned trellis and managed intensively to produce low yields of excellent quality fruit. Shoot thinning, bunch thinning and leaf plucking are all undertaken in the pursuit of quality.
The fruit was destemmed and soaked before fermentation in open-topped fermenters with hand plunging employed to gently extract tannin and colour. When dry the wine was pressed to both tank and barrel for malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged in French oak barriques of which 14% were new for 11 months before blending and bottling.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with a wide range of meat and game dishes including duck, salmon and tuna.
