This luscious Central Otago Pinot Noir is loaded with black cherry fruit typical of the region, overlaid with spice and leather, dried thyme, bramble and violet notes, all with an appealing foresty edge. It’s medium-bodied with stylish silky tannin and impressive length of flavour. Team it up with braised goat shoulder.
Bright and lively on the nose with blue fruits, spice and bramble, delicately wrapped in hauntingly seductive floral notes.
100% Pinot Noir
Gently pressed and briefly settled, the wine was then transferred to French oak Barriques (225L) to undergo natural MLF and mature for 10 months before racking and blending. The resulting blend contains approximately 5% whole bunch and 15% new French oak.
The palate is opulent, packed full of dark plums, cherries and just a hint of Christmas cake spice and dark cocoa. A streak of fine acidity paired with a ribbon of fine, powder like tannins lift the palate towards a satisfyingly long finish.
Hand-picked fruit was destemmed and cold soaked for up to 7 days at 6 drgrees before being Fermented using naturally occurring yeasts in open top stainless steel fermenters. Selected ferments received up to 30% whole bunch and up to 30 days total time on skins before pressing.
