The Acorn Marlborough Pinot Noir 2023

Description

Cherry, Oak, Spice

Bright cherry on the nose with berry fruit  and supple oak on the palate. Spicy palate, sensual length and depth, and nice oaky complexity.

Sourced from the Clays and gravels of the Southern valleys, the Pinot was picked at optimum ripeness from a handful of sites. Low cropping vines from a variety of older vineyards.

The fruit for this wine was hand selected across a number of vineyards. And picked for different reasons, one parcel looked stunning early and provides a lovely morello cherry note to the nose and palate, blended with some later picked blocks providing power and depth to the palate.

Food Pairing: Pork and chicken liver terrine with cornichon and tapenade. Seared rare beef and horseradish.
