Mystery Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022 (04)

Description

Floral, Oak, Raspberry

"Beautifully perfumed with floral overlying elegant fruit, reflecting a cooler vintage. Lovely concentration and weight shows a intense core entwined with savoury spice" Candice Chow, Wine Chat

"Sweetly ripe and fragrant, the wine shows dark berry, dried herb, cured meat, earthy mushroom and toasted nut aromas on the nose. The palate offers silky-smooth mouthfeel and fine texture, well supported by supple tannins, making it savoury and delightfully appealing" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

The 2022 Pinot Noir is an elegant wine full of ripe plums, dark cherry and berry fruits alongside notes of dark chocolate and subtle spice. With a Fine tannin structure and balanced acidity, the finish is deliciously long, spicy and smooth. This wine will develop well over the coming years.

The whole clusters were gently de-stemmed before undergoing fermentation by naturally occurring 'wild' vineyard yeast. The resulting wine was aged in both new 20% and seasoned French barrels for 11 months with intermittent stirring of the malolactic lees for increased palate weight and mouth feel.
