Description

The 2022 Sugar Loaf Pinot Noir is sourced entirely from our hillside vineyard on Marlborough's Southern Valleys, it has lifted aromas of red plum, cocoa & liquorice. The palate is elegant and lingering with summer berries, ripe plum, savoury black pepper and notes of toasty oak with delicate supple tannins.

Fermentation was in small open top vessels, hand plunged three times a day. Post ferment maceration was for 7 days and free run wine was then transferred to French barrels (25% new) for ageing before a 100% malolactic fermentation over the winter months.
