Nature working beautifully in a silky smooth Pinot Noir that is fruity, savoury, spicy and quietly moreish.

Organic Marlborough Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

Ethereal floral notes float above dark fruits, earthy spice, and vanilla. Some strawberry aromas also.

Forest floor and sweet fruits on the palate - think of Doris plum and raspberry/ red liquorice. Solid, dense and smoothly structure with a warm spicy finish. Brooding but layered with juicy red elements.

Winemaker Notes

The fruit was harvested from our organic certified Headwaters Vineyard near Renwick in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. The grapes were crushed into open top vats, held cold for seven days then fermented with indigenous yeast (wild ferment) A two week period on skins followed. The wine was then moved to oak barriques to undergo malolactic fermentation and to mature.

Food Pairing

This organic Pinot Noir wine would go well with wild game or salmon.
