e is
concentrated and fruit driven, with ripe berry characters and a silky soft
Pinot texture; an excellent example of Marlborough Pinot Noir. |

This wine is
suitable for consumption now or with correct cellaring it will continue to
develop more mature characteristics through to 2012. |

The grapes hand
harvested and processed at the winery located a few minutes down the road.
The fruit was cold soaked in open top fermenters prior to fermentation to
extract colour, flavour. Indigenous yeasts were used for fermentation and
once complete, individual parcels remained on skins for up to two weeks. =
Upon
pressing the wines were transferred to new and seasoned French oak barrel=
s to
complete malolactic fermentation and maturation. This wine remained on ye=
ast
lees following malolactic fermentation and was stirred fortnightly to enh=
ance
mouth feel, and create a complex wine with well integrated oak flavours |
