Description

• Cherry
• Red berries

"Sweetly fruited and beautifully fragrant with dark cherry, floral, almond and olive notes, it's succulent and fleshy in the mouth with excellent weight and persistency. Elegant and flavoursome at the same time with a lengthy silky finish. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2021

This delicious, full bodied Pinot Noir exudes lifted aromas of cherry and ripe red berry fruits. The palate shows a dominance of ripe fruit, yet is soft and elegant, finishing with firm tannins that sit in wonderful harmony with the fruit and acidity.

A harvest they will remember for a long time, not only for the added pressures and stresses that were thrown upon them by COVID-19, but more positively (and thankfully), for the splendid harvest conditions experienced in Marlborough and stunning fruit that they managed to harvest ... fittingly, the wines from 2020 will age beautifully and they will be drinking them for many years to come, remembering this unique vintage! After a warm and wet spring, flowering was experienced earlier supported by decent weather conditions, giving perfectly formed bunches and average yields. Fortunately, the last significant rain event was experienced just before Christmas, and from then on perfect ripening conditions were enjoyed. Dry, moderate day time temperatures and cool nights which certainly played a big part in creating white wines bursting with flavour and intensity, yet naturally balanced with vibrant acidity and generous length.

Certified organic grapes were harvested by machine and fermented in small open top fermenters. The caps were plunged twice daily. After a period of 21 – 30 days, the batches were pressed off. The wine went through malolactic fermentation naturally, and remained aging for 9 months before it was blended and filtered prior to bottling.
