W5 Marlborough Pinot Noir 2017

Description

"Beautifully styled and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows dark plum, spiced cherry, vanilla, hazelnut and warm spice aromas, leading to a succulent palate that is plump and fleshy. The wine offers elegance as well as power and richness, wonderfully enhanced by silky mouthfeel and polished tannins. Flavoursome and persistent. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2019

Intense Pinot Noir with a beautiful bouquet of dark berry, black olive and licorice aromas. Garnet red in colour with purple hues. Elegant in style with flavours of rich plum, Morello cherry and wild thyme. Full bodied and well-structured with silky tannins to create a full round weighty palate. Excellent concentration and length with savoury oak and a long smooth finish. Seasoned with a mixture of new and older French oak.

Fruit  was sourced from a number of specifically chosen naturally low cropping vineyards from the Southern Valleys region of Marlborough.

Drinking beautifully now, this wine can be enjoyed young, or with careful cellaring will mature into a deeper more complex wine that can be enjoyed during the next five years and beyond.

Food Pairing: Perfect to enjoy alongside spring lamb with rosemary and creamy mash.
