Yealands Estate Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Introducing Yealands

Our Seaview Vineyard in the Awatere Valley is exposed to some of the toughest growing conditions in Marlborough; high sunshine and wind, cool nights and low rainfall which produces a smaller, thicker skinned berry with intense fruit flavours.

This wine is a blend of three different blocks located in the coastal eastern area of the Seaview Vineyard. The wine radiates the coastal influence blocks; with expressive aromatics and mineral backbone and length.

We were incredibly lucky to be able to continue to create these wines during the global pandemic crisis. For this reason, our 2020 wines carry some very unique memories. The 2020 growing season was very dry, which meant disease pressure was low and some timely light rains kept just enough water flowing in our rivers. We had a classic Marlborough autumn with warm days and cool nights, which created this season’s wines with our signature fresh natural acidity and intense fruit flavours.
