This exceptional pinot noir is testament to Escarpment and New Zealand, proving just why the country has achieved such a great winemaking reputation globally. It has a full perfume of rich, dark berry and cherry fruits with subtle notes of liquorice, tar and minerals. Concentrated ripe cherry, luscious red berry, herbs and savoury flavours hit the tastebuds with the perfect amount of acid and super fine tannin to balance out the sweet fruit. This pinot can be enjoyed now, especially combined with grilled lamb fillets. It also has great cellaring potential. 10+ years.
100% Pinot Noir
It has been aged completely in French oak barriques, of which 30% were new, for 11 months.
Perfume, elegant fruit flavours, and soft ripe tannins are all hallmarks of this exceptional Pinot Noir.
The fruit was hand harvested, fermented using indigenous yeasts then gently handled without pumping until it was pressed. Hand plunged every 12 hours then left to macerate on skins for an average vat time of 19 days.
