Judicious use of oak and fine, silky tannins\" Decanter World Wine Awards UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I tasted this wine at the end of March, so a treat to try again mid-year. My impressions remain the same, a wine of quality with aromas and flavours of raspberry, plum and boysenberry, a layer of wood spice and fine lees texture complexity. Dry, fruity, crisp and ready to drink with chalky tannins and medium+ acid line. Well made and ready from today through 2029\" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Moderately deep ruby-red, even colour throughout. The nose is gently full, with aromas of cherry, cranberry, thyme, mushroom and spice. Medium-bodied, aromas of black cherry and cranberry melded with thyme, mushroom and black pepper. The fruit is balanced with black and red fruit; lifting acidity carries a smooth flow along silky, supple tannins and savoury nuance to an enticing, mouth-watering finish. This Pinot Noir is gentle and elegant with appealing aromatics and structure. Match with veal and lamb over the next 3+ years. Fruit from Southern Valleys, fermented in tanks, with a portion fermented in open-top 225-litre barrels and a portion in new and seasoned French oak barriques. Aged in French oak, 12.5% alc\" Candice Chow, May 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring a cool evening, selected Pinot Noir clones were harvested from the vineyard and transported to the winery where they were kept in a cold soak for four days to extract maximum colour, flavour and tannin form the grapes. Fermented at controlled warm temperatures with a carefully selected yeast strain. A portion of the blend was fermented in 225L open top barrels, with the remaining volume in new and seasoned French oak barriques. Fermented at warm temperatures between 28-32 degrees Celsius, the grapes we hand plunged the grapes were hand plunged up to eight times daily during the height of fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellently paired with spring lamb and roasted root vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MtOlympus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51520318210365,"sku":"754101 W44472","price":74.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/Mystery_-_Pinot_Noir.png?v=1777518938","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/mystery-marlborough-pinot-noir-2023-03","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
