2023 Omaka Valley Pinot Noir

Omaka Valley, Marlborough

Single Vineyard: 100% Pinot Noir

Vinification: Handpicked, 100% whole cluster, 24 days maceration, 15 months élevage in a seasoned French oak puncheon. Unfined and unfiltered.

Ingredients: Certified organic grapes, minimal sulphur dioxide.

Notes: A complex nose of bergamot, dried lavender and petrichor overlays lush notes of dark cherries, plum and cacao. The dance of fruit generosity contrasts a spicy and taut savouriness. Fine chalky tannins frame the palate towards a lengthy finish. 

This wine speaks of its place from its north facing slope and clay soils of the Omaka Valley.

The wine is sinewy, complex and vibrant. Delicious now, with patience it will continue to unfurl its secrets into the next decade.
