Description

This Southern Valleys Pinot Noir exudes aromas of fresh strawberry, red cherry, freshly picked plum, and hints of mocha. The palate is rich and concentrated; red fruits and intriguing, sweet baking spices are balanced with fine-grain tannins and a long finish.

Vineyard

Fruit was hand-selected from throughout the Southern Valleys - a region renowned for growing Pinot Noir with great colour, intensity, excellent texture and ripeness.

Vinification

Our premium parcels of fruit are managed in small batches, with a portion receiving whole bunch fermentation. A hands-off approach retains colour and allows the fruit to showcase distinct Marlborough Pinot Noir character.

Was malolactic fermentation used: yes
Was high-solid fermentation used: yes

Maturation

The wine was aged in new (24%) and old 300L French oak barriques from Giesen’s French cooper — chosen because of their unique style which helps to lengthen the wine
