Sourced from the Southern Valleys in Marlborough, this pinot noir went through fermentation in open top fermenters, with 20% whole bunch and was hand plunged. This brought out the perfumed berry fruit as well as increased the silky mouthfeel of the wine. Aged with French oak.

Savory and earthy with bright red cherries, raspberries, and a hint of cinnamon spice. The juicy palate flows through to a fruit-driven core of crunchy red currants, dried cranberries, black olive, and suggestions of toasted coconut. A pinot noir with round tannins, good balance, and finesse.
