Description

"Medium/deep colour with good weight and intensity. Well-structured pinot with a solid backbone of ripe tannins that suggest good cellaring potential. Ripe plum, dark cherry and berry flavours. Offers good value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2022

Aromas of dark cherry, berry fruits and smoke. Flavours of red fruit compote and mocha. Juicy and fleshy in the mouth with soft tannins and persistent flavour. Easy to drink on its own, or to match with food.

Nobody’s Hero Marlborough Pinot Noir is a fleshy, satisfying wine made in the Framingham way. Here, we  prefer an elegant, “feminine” style of Pinot Noir with fragrance, charm and grace. Wine for those who just want to be themselves.

Grapes from each vineyard were given a short cold soak period before fermentation commenced. Plunging was gentle and not too frequent, aiming to retain elegance in the wine. Dry wines remained on skins until the tannin balance looked approachable. Components were aged for seven months prior to being blended and bottled.

Food Pairing: Lamb, duck, salmon and charcuterie.
