Odyssey Marlborough Pinot Noir 2023

Description

Oak, Plum, Spice

"It's sweetly ripe and delightfully fragrant on the nose with dark plum, raspberry, mixed spice and roasted nut aromas. The palate displays succulent fruit flavours with fleshy texture and beautifully flowing mouthfeel, leading to a fine, polished finish. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

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.
