Description
"This is beautifully fruited and savoury at the same time, displaying lifted aromas of dried cherry, warm spice, smoked game and nutmeg on the nose, followed by an elegantly weighted palate that is silky and flavoursome. The wine offers sweet berry notes backed by attractive complexity. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2017.
This 2015 Pinot Noir has a bright colour and a sweet floral bouquet of red cherries, forest floor and wild berries. The palate is quite full bodied and carries an abundance of sweet fruit and ripe silky tannins. The wine has a fine structure and really fantastic fruit intensity, supple mouthfeel and a great finish.
The vineyard in Martinborough is located on Lake Ferry Road. The soils are stony and naturally devigorating. The vines were trained using careful canopy management and cropped at approximately 6.5 tonnes per hectare. The fruit was harvested at over 24.5 Brix on 7th April.
The fruit from the different blocks was crushed to different fermenters. There was a daily pump over regime. The fermentation was fairly warm and fast and there was a two day pre-ferment maceration. After fermentation there was daily tasting to find when the wine had gained its optimum texture before pressing. The wines had 14 days post fermentation maceration Crafted to provide drinking pleasure in the term short; this Pinot Noir will develop more complexity over the next 5-10 years.
