Scott Base Central Otago Pinot Noir 2016
Scott Base Central Otago Pinot Noir 2016
Description
This is the Scott Base family’s favourite variety, with loads of concentrated berry fruit and wild herbs. It is perfectly balanced with fine acidity and length, just what you would expect out of this region.
The Allan Scott Family has always shown a keen interest in Central Otago. The Scott Base vineyard was established in 1994 and is situated in the heart of Central Otago on terraces overlooking the town of Cromwell and Lake Dunstan. Scott Base is a terraced vineyard with sandy, silty, loam soil, and sustainably managed. The vines are spur pruned and the laterals removed to encourage the vine to concentrate on fruit production. The Scott Base Pinot Noir is 100% handpicked and whole berry fermented. It spends 30 days on its skin to help extract colour, tannins and fruit characters. After fermentation the wine ages for 12 months in French oak barriques (25% new) before being lightly racked and filtered ready for bottling. Drink now or cellar for up to 5 years.
Food Pairing: Ideal with pâtés and salami, this wine matches beautifully with beef and lamb dishes, and try also pairing with game. Don’t be afraid to serve with a dark chocolate mousse either.
