Mystery Marlborough Pinot Noir 2021 (05)

Description

Cherry, Mocha, Plum

"Plush, fresh, bright and fruit centric bouquet. On the palate are flavours of fresh purple cherry flesh, new season Doris plums and a fine dark stone mineral quality with a light dried herb twist. Fine tannins and acidity set a youthful structure inplace contrasted by a core of fruit" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2022

"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.

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.
