Description
This Pinot Noir shows heady aromas of boysenberry and cassis with notes of cedar and mocha on the nose. The palate is supple with juicy fruit weight, fine
tannins and a subtle toasty finish.
Marlborough experienced a mild-to-cool spring period, which ensured that the vines naturally produced lighter than average yields. These mild temperatures then extended into the summer months, coupled with an unseasonal period of rain, which ultimately alleviated the drought conditions that Marlborough has experienced over the past two years. Babydoll Pinot Noir was harvested in excellent condition and the resulting wine is showing the wonderful characters that Marlborough is known for – heady berry fruit aromas balanced with earthy, savoury notes.
The low yielding vines were harvested at optimal ripeness. The fruit was cold soaked for 5 days before being warmed and inoculated with selected yeasts to enhance varietal character. A fast, hot fermentation proceeded with regular hand plunging to craft a wine with elegance and balance. The wine was aged in a variety of vessels with a portion going to a mixture of new and older French oak barrels. After 9 months of aging, the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered. Residual sugar: 1.3 g/l, TA: 4.6
Food Pairing: Enjoy on its own, or match with duck, lamb, venison and veal dishes
