  • Fruity, structured, aged to perfection for the Pinot Noir style and wonderful balance
  • Using separate parcels of different Pinot Noir clones, brings a depth of tastes and textures not usually found in such a wine. Divine
  • Red wine from Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand. Quite possibly the country producing the best mid-priced Pinot Noirs at the current time

Brief Description

Tasting Notes

The nose is complex with attractive savoury notes of smoked meats and spice, along with cherry, plum and floral nuances.

The rounded palate has flavours of red berry compote and plum with savoury and flinty notes. Well-integrated tannins give the wine a balanced structure.

About

This wine is a blend of six vineyard sites in the Wairau and Waihopai Valleys, featuring a mixture of seven different Pinot Noir clones.

79% of the fruit comes from the clay soils of the Southern Valleys sub-region, while the remainder is sourced from the gravelly soils around the winery in Renwick.

Each parcel is hand picked and vinified separately with the amount of whole bunch and time on skins varying according to the parcel.

The wines are fermented followed by a 10-month maturation in a mixture of new and seasoned French barriques, approximately 20% of which were new.

After maturation, the selected base wines were blended and bottled, unfined and unfiltered.

Ideal with...

Salmon and fatty fish, drilled chicken and game bird.
