Mystery Wairarapa Pinot Noir 2022

Description

Blackberry, Chocolate, Oak

"It's splendidly ripe and elegantly complex, showing dark berry, thyme, dried mushroom and toasted nut aromas, leading to a silky-smooth palate that's succulent and fleshy. Wonderfully rounded and flavoursome with a lingering velvety finish. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2023

This classic Wairarapa Pinot Noir combines elevated aromas of raspberry, blackberry, plum and with a touch of earthiness. The palate is rich with beautiful cherry fruit, chocolate, spice and delicate tannins.

The vineyard is planted in a range of Pinot Noir Clones that give character and complexity to our wines. Naturally Low yields and meticulous viticulture ensure clean ripe fruit is selected for this wine.

The Fruit was harvested by clonal selection and fermented in small open top fermenters. A combination of Plunge and pump over techniques ensured optimum flavour extraction. After ferment the wines were aged in French barrels for 10 months, before blending and bottling.

Food Pairing: A superb accompaniment to roast duck, lamb chops with barbequed asparagus, and grilled butternut squash with onion and chickpea stuffing.
