Wild Grace Central Otago Pinot Noir 2017

Description

"Attractive, punchy Pinot Noir in a typically fruity Central Otago style with plum, dark cherry, spice, anise and nutty oak flavours. Vibrant acidity gives the wine energy and drinkability. Terrific value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Nov 2019

Deep dark ruby red colour in the glass. Black berry fruits, spice and underlying cola notes. Rich and ripe flavours of blackberry and dark cherry, flowing through restrained hints of French oak. The finish is long, with soft tannins and undertones of spice.

Perched between the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean, the land is one of humbling extremes. Storm fronts sweep across the regions, whipping the landscape into unruly contours and carving terrain of awe-inspiring beauty. This distinctive range of wines is skilfully crafted to embody the wild grace intrinsic to this land.

After 15 days on skins, our Pinot Noir grapes have produced this stunning, dark ruby-red wine. Following 5 days of cold soaking under close attention from our winemakers, we fermented in 100% French barrels at a peak of 32 degrees to extract maximum colour and enhance tannin profile in the palate.

Food Pairing: Perfect with dark chocolate or rack of lamb.
