Cirro Pinot Noir comes from the mid-Wairau Valley region in Marlborough. Mature vines lie on old riverbed with a soil composition of river stones and heavy silt. The fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness, then destemmed and crushed into open-top fermenters and left to cold soak for 5 days before natural fermentation began. Once fermented the wine was transferred to old French barrels for 18 months.
