Pinot Noir is the rising star of Marlborough and the variety that most expresses the differences from season to season. Grown on the southern hills in clay soils, this Pinot is well rounded with oh-so juicy flavours of cherry and black Doris plum. The wild fermentation along with extended lees maturation have added complexity and texture to the dark fruits and the finish is dry with a nice touch of dark chocolate and spice. Made in a 'fruit forward' style (meaning with a restrained oak influence), it is deeply coloured and full-bodied, with strong cherry, plum and spice flavours, savoury notes adding complexity, and ripe, supple tannins.
