"Gorgeously complex and enticing, the bouquet shows dark cherry, spicy oak, dried herb and clove notes, leading to a beautifully weighted palate offering juicy fruit intensity with plump mouthfeel and velvety texture. Harmonious and delectable with a lengthy refined finish. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
2020 Limited Release Pinot Noir: Two selected vineyard sites on the Martinborough terrace and Dry River Flats were hand picked in late March 2020. A rigorous bunch selection process followed, and 40% of whole bunches were retained in the fermenter with the rest destemmed on top. The wine started a spontaneous fermentation, and gentle pumping over occurred twice daily during full ferment, with daily pigeage once the ferment had slowed. Fermentation temperature reached 30ºC.
The wine stayed on skins for 35 days to build structure, then was pressed to stainless steel for 48hrs settling before racking to French oak barriques for maturation for 11 months. Malolactic fermentation took place in the barrels in spring, then the wine was blended into a stainless steel tank under inert gas for settling. Filtration and bottling followed in early March 2021.
