Moko Black Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022

Moko Black Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022 Marlborough, New Zealand

This Pinot Noir cones from 2 vineyards - 87% Rapaura Gravels and 13% Omaka Valley clay soils which include a number of clones, 667,777,115, Abel and Clone 5. Both vineyards are pruned to 2 cane VSP and yields are naturally around the 7T/Ha mark. After green thinning on the vine the fruit is harvested over a period of 10 days from late March through to early April. Each parcel iss kept separate and fermented in small open top tanks and hand plunged up to 4 times daily. Post pressing, wine is sent to a mixture of stainless steel and French oak for Malo and ageing.

Beautiful bright garnet in the glass. On the nose, there are crushed raspberries, a tough of bay and the faintest lick of oak. The palate is really juicy, bright cherry fruited, fresh and lovely. Serve slightly chilled with delicate, rich and aromatic food such as duck dim sums, tempura fried vegetables and oriental salads.
