Opawa Marlborough Pinot Noir 2014

Description

A medium bodied and beautifully balanced Marlborough Pinot Noir. On the nose it shows fruits characters of mulberry, cherry and red plums with savoury spices, cocoa powder and a hint of toasty oak. Elegant and juicy on the palate, it displays multi-layered fruit flavours accompanied by soft, fine tannins. This wine has elegant structure, silky texture and juicy acidity to give freshness, and it culminates in a lingering finish.

This wine was made from selected premium vineyards in our dedicated Pinot Noir Cellar using principles of minimal handling and gravity flow. After a cold soak and indigenous fermentation the wine was pressed into French oak barriques for maturation, before being clarified and bottled in February 2015.
