"From grapes grown in the Southern Valleys subregion. Reasonably deep-tinted pinot noir with dark-fleshed plum, dark cherry, cassis, grape stems. Fine peppery tannins give structure without making the wine at all inaccessible. A smart pinot with character" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Nov 2020
Discover aromas of dark cherry and bramble, with sweet spice and subtle toasty notes. On the palate, enjoy flavours of cherry compote, mocha and clove, with earthy smokey notes from careful barrel aging in French oak hogsheads.
The fruit for this vintage was handselected from throughout the Southern Valleys, a region renowned for growing Pinot Noir with great colour, intensity, excellent texture and ripeness.
The best parcels of fruit from the Southern Valleys are managed in small batches, with a portion receiving whole bunch fermentation. A “hands off” approach was used to retain colour and allow the fruit to showcase distinct Marlborough Pinot Noir character. The wine was aged in a mix of new (24%) and old French oak 300L barriques from Giesen’s French cooper—chosen because it gives a unique style which helps to lengthen the wine.
The dry 2019 growing season created a bounty of intense flavours and quality within their naturally low yielding Southern Valleys vineyards. The summer was hot and dry, creating fruit with generous aromatics, intensity, texture and lovely natural acidity. This along with meticulous vineyard management created fruit with concentrated flavour. The fruit was hand-picked and then handsorted in the vineyards ensuring only the perfect bunches were selected for this wine.
Discover a place between the snow and the sea. Where mountain ranges give way to rivers, and sunshine reigns supreme. Where the three Giesen Brothers discovered an affinity for the finest Marlborough wines, and where they craft their tribute to this beautiful, untameable region.
