BLEND AND ORIGIN
This year’s pinot noir harvest – from vines grown in the cool clay soils and rolling slopes of Marlborough’s Southern Valleys region – was smaller than usual, thanks to challenging weather conditions in the region.
But the upside of low yields is the resulting fruit that’s full-flavoured, concentrated and complex.
These grapes were gravity-fed into open-top fermentation tanks, with 5% whole-bunch inclusion for added structure.
After 100% malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured in French oak for 11 months (30% of which were new barrels).
