This Icon joins our esteemed collection, as the ultimate embodiment of our passion to craft and share the very best New Zealand wines with the world as we celebrate over 60 years of extraordinary New Zealand winemaking.
A broody, dense Pinot Noir with heady aromas of coffee beans, dried herbs, and freshly picked black cherries. On the palate, the smooth rounded cocoa tannins are balanced by the youthful acidity and subtle hints of toasty oak.
Colder weather in spring led to a longer than usual flowering season, resulting in smaller bunches with looser structure. Summer temperatures were unusually mild for Marlborough, regulated by cooler easterly breezes and light cloud cover. Intermittent autumn rains slowed ripening which meant our harvest plans had to be flexible whilst we waited for dry weather periods and flavours to develop.
Our Attorney Vineyard is one of Marlborough’s premier Pinot Noir sites which, in the 2019 growing season, presented us with an extraordinary parcel of fruit. A powerful statement of Marlborough Pinot Noir, the vine maturity, natural balance and biodiversity of our Attorney Vineyard produces single vineyard Pinot Noir with beguiling elegance and complexity.
