This Pinot displays a floral, feminine charm, an elegant bouquet, core of fruit and incredible texture. Youthful yet fine, ripe tannins, pristine acidity and long complex finish\" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Hottest vintage on record has produced a fruity and accessible pinot noir with ripe cherry, plum and raspberry flavours laced with spice and supported by French oak. Soft, fruity acidity provides a welcome backbone. Lovely purity and energy. Should age well\" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, The Real Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The 2022 Earnscleugh Vineyard Pinot Noir hails from a warmer than average year. During flowering in December, cloudier and wetter than normal weather caused temperatures to drop, and there was reduced flower germination. Bunches were more open with fewer berries. In the glass, the fruit is supple and bright, with layers of red berries, underpinned by a cherry freshness. I can easily see why these wines will all be consumed in their youth, such is the freshness and detail in the fruit; however, I would strongly recommend that you attempt to exercise some patience with these bottles, as they evolve with wonderful freshness and detail over time\" Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"From a single vineyard in Alexandra, one of the world’s most southerly, planted in 2003. Enticing nose, layered and interesting, perfumed with red liquorice, spice, dried herbs and earth. The palate is elegant and firm with fine, silty tannins and a nice herbal (not green) savouriness to offset the core of juicy rich fruit – a hallmark of the sub-region. Supple and harmonious, with a real sense of lightness and grace. Drinking Window: 2024 – 2030\" Emma Jenkins, Master of Wine, Decanter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark purple with garnet hues. Perfumed with violets, blackberries, strawberry, hints of spice, chocolate and dried herb. A full silky entry with dark plum, dark cherry, florals and forest floor notes. Concentrated and complex with good minerality, ample fine-grained tannins and a persistent finish. Firm acid backbone which melds well with the dark fruit profile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DhallNash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51450670383421,"sku":"104867_2022_750","price":209.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/GrasshopperRockCentralOtagoPinotNoir2022.jpg?v=1772677415","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/grasshopper-rock-central-otago-pinot-noir-2022","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
