Crafted using a minimalistic approach to winemaking this wine displays a perfumed bouquet of red and black cherries, complemented by a layered, spicy and complex palate. Refined and finely textured, this is classic Marlborough Pinot Noir.
Summer was dry and mild with Marlborough’s signature high sunshine hours and cool nights delivering fruit in the best possible condition. The earl autumn season in 2021 provided Marlborough with very stable weather conditions allowing fruit to reach optimum physiological and flavour ripeness. The fruit was impeccably clean and the lower yields meant that the grapes packed a punch in flavour and concentration.
The grapes for this wine were sourced from three key vineyards across Marlborough. One in the Awatere valley, bringing a cooler climate aromatic influence. The other two vineyards are situated in the Southern valleys sub-region of the Wairau valley. The deep clay-based soils contribute to the concentration and structure of the wine.
