Dog Point Marlborough Pinot Noir 2019
A plush & juicy Marlborough Pinot Noir
A plush & juicy Marlborough Pinot Noir
Description
- French oak
- Dark cherry & plum
- Rose petal
- Fine tannins
Deep ruby in the glass. Bright and pure stone fruits of doris plums and dark cherries with floral tones of violets and old fashioned rose petals. In the background, savoury elements, brambles and subtle char add complexity. Plush, juicy fruit flavours upfront lead into a fine boned tannin profile and gentle acidity. Cellar seven to ten years.
Marlborough home vineyards, Settlement and Yarrum, largely all on hill slopes. 6.4 tonnes/hectare. Vines are 19 years old on average. Some plantings date back to 1983. Harvested 4th-21st March 2019.
A mild Spring free of frosts was followed by a cool flowering period in December, which lead to tempered yields for much of the region. This was followed by an extremely dry and warm Summer with only 10% of our typical rainfall for the months of January and February. A welcomed burst of rain fell during March, giving vitality to the vines, enabling a healthy and relaxed end to the growing season in early April. One of our earliest harvest completion dates, with all sauvignon being picked by the 4th of April.
