Spy Valley Marlborough Pinot Noir 2017
Description
- Toasty oak
- Red berry
- Cocoa
- Finely grained tannins
The bouquet is filled with vibrant red fruits, cocoa powder and dried spice. Supple, long, and fruit focused palate with a finely grained tannin structure. This Pinot Noir is bursting with red berry flavours with a hint of toasty oak.
2016 was dry and a little warmer than average. There were small bunches and berries with great concentration, and they experienced very low crops. The acid and flavour balance allowed picking at moderate sugar levels.
The fruit for this wine was handpicked as individual vineyard blocks and kept separate until final blending. Grape bunches are mostly destemmed and all fermented naturally in open vats. After gentle plunging the wine is drained to barrels for 11 months prior to blending. A vintage with a supple but firm structure and the concentration necessary for cellaring well. This Pinot Noir should improve with time in bottle and be near its peak between 3-7 years after harvest.
