The perfect table Pinot Noir that is sure to please a crowd. The 2022 Faultline Pinot Noir is a Marlborough wine sourced from select vineyards around the region. On the nose, delicious red cherry, and warm spice notes. The palate is supple and juicy with raspberry, toasted almonds, and a delicate acidity throughout.

When the grapes for this Pinot Noir reached optimal ripeness, they were machine harvested and transported safely to the winery, spending 5 days cold soaked. Each vineyard parcel was fermented separately using select yeast strains during which the must was hand-plunged daily. The wine was then pressed into a mix of French oak barrels and tank to retain fresh fruit characters in the wine. Malolactic fermentation began at the beginning of spring before the wine was prepared for bottling.
