- An elegant and silky Pinot Noir with aromatic notes of sweet, ripe raspberries, leafy overtones and hints of dried thyme. Fresh and bright with red fruits on the smooth, rounded palate, through to a long, toasty finish.
The grapes were delivered to the winery immediately after harvest retaining the freshness of the fruit. Afer the fruit was cold soaked, fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of fruit and during the peak of fermentation the must was hand-plunged up to eight times per day, in order to ensure the desired levels of fine tannins, colour and flavours were extracted. The wine went through malolactic conversion resulting in a silky texture. Maturation for six months in seasoned French oak barriques followed, imparting subtle complexity to the wine.

| Winery | The fruit for this wine was harvested from vineyards across the Wairau and southern Waihopai Valleys in Marlborough. The vineyards situated in the sheltered southern Waihopai Valley have well-draining clay over gravel soils, which offer good drainage and aeration. The clay soils have the capacity to retain positively charged nutrients, which are beneficial to plant health and add an element of growth restriction, keeping the Pinot Noir balanced in its growth. The clay and gravel soils also help to restrict berry size, creating thicker skins, which in turn leads to more flavour and better concentration. The vines are trained with two canes which further helps to obtain concentrated fruit flavours. |
