Tasting Notes
A bright dark cherry hue and aromas of raspberries, wild forest berry fruits with high notes of cedar and spice.
On the palate, rich and vibrant with primary notes of cherry, currants and wonderfully grainy french oak.
Juicy, textural tannins lead on to a succulent lingering finish.
About
This Pinot Noir expresses the ethereal, aromatic and structural flair of the hillside slopes of the Sutherland Settlement vineyard and the Southern Valleys of Marlborough. The wine shows classic cool climate precision matched with palate depth and the ability to support texture.
The grapes arebhand picked, and 100% de stemmed, with a cold soak for about 5-7days before wild fermentation begins. Mid way through the ferment, yeasts are added to ensure a healthy and dry ferment. Hand plunged, and rack and return once, before being pressed off gently after about 18 days on skins.7
It is left to settle over night before being drained to French oak barrels where it is left to rest through winter and undergo Malolactic fermentation in the spring. The total time in oak is 12 months, with 30% of the liquid in new oak.
Come January it is blended, fined and filtered before being bottle in March.
Ideal with...
Venison and wild berry compote, or smoked eel and buerre blanc covered new potatoes.
