Wairau River, Pinot Noir, Marlborough 2022

Produced from the Home vineyard. Grapes were carefully hand harvested cool in the early morning and returned to the winery in small bins. Fermentation took place in 4,000 litre open top French oak cuves, with only delicate hand plunging used to extract colour and subtle tannins. The skins were gently pressed off, and the wine aged in French oak barriques for a minimum of 12 months prior to final blending and analysis.

Showing dense cherry, red berry and lifted spice notes. Beautifully structured with fine ripe tannins and delicious smoky oak undertones.

Our style of our Estate Pinot Noir is bright raspberries and red cherries combined with savoury oak (from spending 9 months in French barriques) making it extremely approachable, bright and easy drinking. This grapes are picked in the cool of the morning to retain the vibrancy we get from our estate vineyards. Any red meat goes well with this wine, or try with a a cheeseboard!
