Description
Winemaking: Individual parcels of Pinot Noir are hand harvested and destemmed for fermentation in tank. Fermentation by indigenous yeasts. Pressing off and barrelling down into French oak barriques (20% new).
Colour: Garnet Red, Unfiltered
Nose: Laden with earthy spice aromas, bright red and dark fruits with a touch of red liquorice and floral notes.
Palate: The wine has great fruit intensity while still showing classic Wairarapa savoury elements. Long fine tannins make the wine linger and imprint a sense of place.
