PINOT NOIR 2024

A bit brooding at first. Baking spices, blueberry and cassis, reveal lifted red fruits and cinnamon, wrapped up in toasty oak. The palate is medium bodied with juicy red cherries, soft acid and fine chalky tannins.

Small parcels of fruit were harvested over 5 days by both hand and machine. The handpicked fruit was mostly destemmed, with a small percentage of whole bunches across several fermenters. Exceptional fruit meant wild yeasts completed the fermentation. The parcels are gently handled with 1-2 pump overs per day in the peak of ferment. Batches spent 18 - 23 days on skins before draining and pressing. The wine is matured in French oak (12% new) for 11 months before grading the individual batches. The selected barrels are blended in February and bottled in March prior to the next harvest. This wine has been made without any finings and is vegan friendly.

Vintage

2024 was a truly remarkable growing season that was marked by dry, warm weather. A significant late season frost and a cooler start to flowering in December created low yields across much of the region – a factor that Pinot Noir thrives under. With no disease pressure, and the driest summer in Marlborough for over 90 years our Pinot Noir was harvested in small batches over 5 days. The earliest and quickest harvest in many years.
