Format: 750ML
Region: Marlborough Abv:13.8%
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Introduction:
The Pinot Noir fruit was gravity-fed into the open-topped fermentation tanks, with 5% whole-bunch inclusion. The skins were gently plunged, with an average of 2l days’ skin contact, and then 100% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. After fermentation, the wines were matured in French oak for 11 months, of which 30% was new.
Tasting Profile:
Nose: Incredibly pretty and enticing on the nose, with notes of boysenberry, cherry and fragrant, dusky florals.
Palate: On the palate, crunchy dark cherry, cranberry and hedgerow fruit notes burst in the mouth and bring an immediate sense of freshness. The tannins are super-fine, effortlessly underpinning the intense and succulent fruit character.
