Kahurangi Estate Mt Arthur Reserve Nelson Pinot Noir 2021

Description

Cranberry, Oak, Spice

Our Pinot Noir is elegant and medium-bodied, with a silky texture. Bright red berry flavors take center stage, complemented by hints of cranberry and red currant that add vibrancy and freshness. A subtle touch of oak lends gentle complexity, while balanced acidity brings energy and lift. Soft tannins provide a smooth mouthfeel, enhancing the wine’s refined and graceful character.

Harvest 2021 was a stand-out vintage for the Nelson region. Starting with a warm spring, it continued on through a hot and dry summer and autumn, resulting in superb clean, ripe fruit packed with intense flavours perfect for making sensational wine.

Initial hand plunging in open fermenters for 4 weeks then small portion of maturation in 1 & 2 year old French oak barrels, with majority of wine maturing in older French oak barrels for 10 months.
