Tiki Single Vineyard North Canterbury Pinot Noir 2021

An intensely and brightly coloured wine with a ruby red hue, this Pinot Noir has a bright cherry nose supported by complex red and dark fruits, spiced cherry, cedar, mushroom and floral characters on the nose. The palate highlights bitter chocolate, cherry and cinnamon spice notes supported by fine acidity and a flowing finish. Nicely balanced and drinking beautifully.

The 2021 vintage in Waipara, North Canterbury was warm and dry - good growing conditions. Heat summation was well up on average while rainfall was 50% less than normal over the last three months before harvest. The lower rainfall allowed the winemaker to be patient and instruct the picking of the fruit in absolute pristine condition and when tasted at their premium. The effects of this were enhanced fruit flavours creating a wine of great balance.

The fruit was harvested in excellent condition and gently handled in the cellar using traditional burgundian methods.

Aged for 12 months in French oak barriques.
