Dog Point Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand 2021

Hand picked and chilled overnight prior to handsorting. 70% destemmed and 30% whole bunches included. Fermented in small stainless open top fermenters with 100% indigenous yeasts over a period of 3 weeks prior to pressing into French oak barrels for eighteen months (30% new).

 Spicy and brightly perfumed, with ripe cherries and plums. The fruit is complimented by baking spices and dried herbs with subtle violet florals.  A plush palate with generous flavours of bright red berries, fine acidity and supple, fine powdery tannins. An elegantly framed expression offering a delicious drinkability upon release.

Drinks beautifully now or can be cellared for 10+ years.
