The King's Wrath Pinot Noir 2022

Rich and inviting aromas of black doris plum and cassis are laced with lifted florals and clove spices. A full-bodied palate showcases a fine-grained tannin structure with underlying crushed blackberry, dark chocolate, and savoury nuances. The tannin structure creates an intense finish helping to carry the array of lively Marlborough fruit flavours. Highly versatile, this wine matches well to gamey meats, mushrooms as well as rich fish such as tuna or trout. We recommend enjoying The Kings Wrath 2022 with venison haunch and seasonal roasted vegetables.

Sourced from selected Pinot Noir vineyards in the Southern Valleys of Marlborough.

Selected clones were hand harvested from clay-based vineyards in the Southern Valleys. The fruit was chilled and destemmed into small fermenters for a week-long cold soak helping deepen the colour. Fermentation occurred over another week with strains of yeast isolated from Burgundian vineyards. The wines were then pressed to French oak puncheons (45% new) to mature for 11 months in which time they underwent Malolactic fermentation.
