Mount Edward Central Otago Pinot Noir 2019
Description
- French oak
- Red & black fruits
- Florals & herbs

A more delicate and medium bodied Pinot Noir this is an elegant and supple wine. Perfumed aromatics of floral and herbal notes with a sinewy core of both red and dark fruits over fine grained tannins. Delicious texture showing balance, power and finesse. Classic Central Otago, with savoury and herbal elements that come from a warmer vintage such as 2019.
The 2019 pinot noir is carefully blended from our 3 vineyards in the Lowburn and Bannockburn sub regions; all estate vineyards, Morrison, Pisa Terrace and Muirkirk All are farmed using certified BioGro organic practices. The vineyards are planted with a mixture of the Dijon clones and cropped at an average of 35 hectolitres per hectare, all vineyards being planted between 1997 and 2003.
Vinified using open fermenters, hand plunging once per day, natural yeasts, no additions and 11 months in French oak – 20 % new – before racking and settling in tank for a further 6 months. Fermentation was carried out using de-stemmed fruit including the addition of 20% whole bunches.
Mount Edward is a small wine grower located in the heart of the Gibbston grape growing district, 25 km from Queenstown, in Central Otago, New Zealand. Started in 1998, Mount Edward has evolved from its simple beginnings; growing pure Central Otago Pinot Noir and Riesling, to a winery looking to explore the boundaries of what is possible; with sub regional vineyard sites and the region’s most promising varieties. Winemaker Duncan Forsyth has been making wine in Central Otago since 1996 and together with proprietor John Buchanan, grows and makes Mount Edward’s wines.
Mount Edward’s vineyards are in the Bannockburn, Lowburn and Gibbston sub regions. We use Bio Gro certified organic approaches to winegrowing & producing our wines which endeavour to reflect soil and season - all from unique single vineyard sites.
