Ata Rangi Crimson Martinborough Pinot Noir 2014
Description
The 2014 Crimson reflects this more relaxed harvest with its enticing nose, a medley of bright red fruits, cranberry, rosehip, loganberry and a note of spicy red licorice. The palate is divinely silky with tannins that are velvety and long. Already this wine shows great balance and seductiveness, the hallmark of 2014.
Hand -picked fruit. 100% de- stemmed with as much whole berry as possible intact. 2 to 6 days pre -fermentation maceration. Indigenous yeast ferments, hand plunged throughout . Two weeks total tank time. Complete malo-lactic fermentation in barrel. Nine months in French oak (20% new )
Every season leaves an imprint on the wine, and Crimson Pinot Noir 2014 is a very true reflection of the year’s conditions. The spring of 2013 was unusually settled. Mercifully missing were the cold southerly winds often experienced in the Wairarapa, the benign weather delivering flowering conditions that normally reside in a winemaker’s dreams.
