"A bouquet of completeness and readiness with a palate of red fruits and dried spices, a mix of stone and mineral qualities then flavours of red apple and plum then some cherry fruits, followed by moderately firmish tannins and plenty of acidity both layering in a freshness and crunch. Well made still with some development time ahead, also offering good drinking from today and through 2030" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Apr 2024
Seductive aromatics of wild berry and delicate floral notes with a hint of spice. Luscious on the palate. The tannins are soft and silky making this a very elegant Pinot Noir.
A return to more traditional conditions for the Waitaki in Spring and Summer meant times of turbulence amongst periods of genuine warmth. These conditions gave way to lighter crops but intense small berries. Because of this we called it early as being a ‘vintage’ year for Waitaki wines.
The nature of limestone soils means seasons like this can easily be managed, with canopies kept healthy and fruit free of disease. Autumn was the most generous of all seasons, it allowed the luxury of picking at the perfect time for fruit acids and flavours to be shown. The wines from this vintage will be enjoyed for many years.
