Odd One Out Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022

Description

Chocolate, Oak, Raspberry

This wine is deep garnet in colour with toasty aromas of oak and freshly picked red fruits. The palate is bright and inspiring with fresh raspberry, cherry and toasted flavours. The palate has a unique cocoa powder mouthfeel which lingers on the finish.

The fruit for this fruity Pinot Noir was sourced from several specifically chosen vineyards that contribute to unique and bold flavours in the wine. Each parcel was monitored and tasted throughout the season until the berries had reached the desired flavour profile.

At the winery each parcel was cold soaked before fermentation, enhancing the colour and flavour extraction for the wine. The juice was fermented and hand plunged eight times a day during its peak. Once ready, each batch was racked into stainless steel tanks with French oak where it underwent a malolactic fermentation. The final wine was blended and prepared for bottling here in Marlborough.

Food Pairing: This Pinot Noir is a perfect match with black garlic roasted potatoes.
