From maritime vineyards in Marlborough’s south easterly extremes in the Blind River Valley this Pinot Noir comes from two vineyards made up of 87% Rapaura Gravels and 13% Omaka Valley clay soils which included a number of clone grape varieties. After green thinning on the vine the fruit was harvested over a period of 10 days and each parcel was kept separate and fermented in small open top tanks and hand plunged up to 4 times daily. Post pressing, wine was sent to a mixture of stainless steel and French oak for malolactic fermentation and ageing.
This coastal fruit captures a breezy finesse over the classic cranberry and red current aromas giving us a wine with enough bite and texture to be foody but with enough generosity of fruit to be a delicious glass on its own. A touch of oak in the winemaking lends a little soothing creaminess.
Perfect with rich and aromatic food such as duck dim sums and oriental salads.
