Edwin Fox Reserve Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022

Description

Cherry, Coffee, Oak

"It's inviting on the nose with sweet cherry, thyme, mixed spice and mushroom aromas. The palate delivers elegant weight and smooth mouthfeel, well supported by fine-grained tannins, finishing silky and supple. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2024

Grown in the southern valleys of Marlborough, this beautiful and structured Pinot Noir has aromas of toasty oak, cherries, and coffee. A fresh and bright wine up front that fills the palate with notes of raspberries and coco powder with a lovely, toasted note on the finish.

At the winery, the fruit was held in a cold soak for five days, extracting elegant colour and tannin from the skins. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at warm temperatures,  at this time the grapes were hand plunged up to eight times daily for further extraction.  The wine was racked off gross lees and into oak infused tanks where it underwent a second malolactic fermentation before being blended and bottled.
