Spy Valley Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022

Description

Cherry, Plum, Spice

Alluring aromas of Red berry fruits and cinnamon. Fresh and vibrant on the palate with layers of plum and spice, creating a finely balanced and long finish.

Near perfect weather patterns over the flowering period and through December resulted in even crops and healthy canopies to ripen the fruit. The weather took a turn in February with above average rainfall and cooler temperatures for the month. Perfect ripening conditions then ensued through the remainder of the month and into March. Daily monitoring of our vineyards over the period of harvest was key to maintaining wine quality throughout the season.

Our selected estate vineyard blocks were kept separate until final blending.The grape bunches were mostly destemmed and all fermented in open vats. After gentle plunging during fermentation to extract colour and flavour the wine was pressed off skins and matured for 11 months prior to blending.
