Description

  • French oak
  • Wildberries
  • Spiced dark plum
  • Textured tannins

"Stylish and seductively complex, the wine shows dark cherry, smoked game, olive and floral aromas on the nose. The concentrated palate offers refined mouthfeel combined with juicy fruit intensity, classically structured by fine-grained tannins. Splendidly proportioned and elegant with a lengthy textured finish. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2021

This Pinot Noir is ruby red in colour with perfumes of freshly crushed wildberries, dark plums, brooding spice and underlying elegant oak nuances. A generous and layered palate is woven with elegant and textured dark fruit tannins andintegrated woodspice notes. A backbone of classic Central Otago acidity helps to balance and maintain vibrancy in the finish.

All the fruit was sourced solely from the Claim 431 Vineyard in Bendigo, Central Otago. Freedraining loam soils over schist gravel makes this sub-region a natural home for growing outstanding Pinot Noir.

Grapes were hand harvested and gently destermmed. After a week long cold soak, each parcel was fermented using indigenous yeast and hand plunged. The wine was separately pressed into a mix of old and French Oak barrels to mature for 12 months.

Food Pairing: Game meat
