The Edge By Escarpment Martinborough Pinot Noir 2022

Description

• French oak
• Cranberry & cherry
• Dried herbs
• Silky tannins

Light ruby in colour, the wine shows savoury characters with freshly turned earth and spice that you would expect from a cooler vintage. A lifted perfume offers intrigue, with dried herbs and berries also present. The fruit profile is more in the red spectrum, with red cherry and cranberries. The palate is soft and juicy, with silky tannin making the wine immediately appealing.

Fruit grown on the alluvial gravel terraces for which the Martinborough region has become famous. A cooler growing season has led to wines of elegance and charm. 100% Pinot Noir, the fruit was gently destemmed into open top fermenters and fermented with indigenous yeast. On skins for an average of 20 days, before pressing to a mix of stainless tank and seasoned French barriques for a maturation period of 8 months. Bottled young to retain freshness.

Food Pairing: 16°C and enjoy a glass on its own or with a rich pasta dish. A wine designed to be enjoyed upon release, with soft tannin and savoury undertones making it the perfect accompaniment for any barbeque or red meat dish.
