Odyssey Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022

Description

• French oak
• Ripe cherry & plum
• Roasted nut
• Silky mouthfeel

"This is elegant and poised with sweet plum, thyme, roasted nut and subtle mushroom aromas on the nose. It’s equally appealing in the mouth, displaying silky texture and well-infused tannins. Finely expressed with tasty fruit flavours with spicy nuances. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2023

Beautiful uplifted berry fruit flavours of ripe cherry and blackberry with spicy overtones lead you into a lovely fragrant filled palate. It’s elegant yet weighty with lovely fruit ripeness which manifests in intense flavour and a sweet impression. The finish is long and well structured this wine is ageing wonderfully.

Winemaking/ Hand harvested and cold soaked for 1 week prior to the juice warming up and fermenting with the indigenous yeasts found on the berries. After ferment the wine remained with the grape skins for a further 6 days before the wine was pressed off into 30% new tight grained French oak barriques. The oak barrels are selected from a variety of proven coopers, forest and toasting levels. The wine once blended was gently fined with egg whites.
