With Pinot Noir the fruit is always the primary focus. Marlborough’s warm days and cool nights make it an ideal climate for growing the famously temperamental grape. Matured in French oak barrels the result is fragrant, soft, and ?avorful, with aromas of ripe cherries and sweet fruit tannins that provide structure and length. Elegant, cool climate Pinot Noir at its best. Fragrant dark cherry with juicy black plum, elegant and silky. Pairs perfectly with rustic dishes, red meat, rich fish, and game.
| Technical notes |
| The fruit was picked from selected vineyard blocks to provide blending components and more complexity to the wine. The open ferment was hand-plunged up to three times a day and a small portion of the blend was run off to complete fermentation in French oak barriques. After maceration, the wine was pressed off into tank and French oak barriques to complete malolactic fermentation. The wine was then matured for a period of months and racked prior to final blending. |
