Sherwood Estate Waipara Valley Pinot Noir 2022

Description

• Subtle oak
• Blackberries
• Ripe plum
• Silky smooth

A juicy Pinot Noir with rich ripe fruit flavours of plum and blackberries. Subtle oak complexities lead to a beautifully rounded palate with a silky smooth finish.

The Sherwood Pinot Noir is made in a style that genuinely reflects the Pinot Noir grape.

Most of the blend is tipped into open top fermentation tanks for pre ferment soak prior to the fermentation starting naturally with indigenous yeast, another portion is tank fermented with pump over,then a very small portion is kept as whole berries and sealed for carbonic maceration fermentation.

Once the fermentations have finished, a partial micro oxygenation is started which helps the wine to remain softer and rounder earlier.

The Sherwood range is the original brand of Sherwood Estate Wines. The wine that shares the family name, this is the brand we have become known and respected for over the past 30 years. We feel this brand is most representative of the company, our philosophies and our v1s1on.

Food Pairing: This Pinot Noir is so versatile with food, it pairs well with BBQ,'s and salads to comforting winter style dishes. A secret favorite, a seafood pasta.
