Description

- Boysenberry
- Refined tannins
- Mouth-filling
Delightfully approachable, yet complex, this full-bodied Pinot Noir exudes dark cherry and violet aromas. Rich in boysenberry and red fruit flavours, complimented with harmonious savoury notes, refined tannins and deft oak all complete a mouth-filling and lingering finish. This wine will reward further cellaring.
The grapes for this generous wine were grown in the Central Otago region, on low yielding vines. After a long hot summer and the vines in perfect health the grapes were picked at ideal ripeness and flavour profile.
The grapes were gently crushed and allowed to cold soak for 3 days to extract important colour and flavour components. Fermentation proceeded with light plunging for further colour, flavour and fine tannin extraction. After a 10-day post ferment skin contact regime, the resulting wine was then sent to barrel for twelve months ageing in quality French oak (35% new wood) to enhance its natural structure. The wine is un-fined to preserve the natural structure and terrior but was cross flow filtered prior to bottling on 13th October 2023 under screwcap closure.
Food Pairing: Serve with venison backstrap and roasted mushrooms.
