The best adapted red variety for cool climatic conditions Pinot Noir is particularly suited to the Marlborough region. The aging of their vines and the greater understanding they gain as growers has enabled them to further develop their Pinot Noir style each year and the 2007 vintage is no exception continuing their aim in developing their own distinctive style. The 2007 season produced top quality fruit at optimum ripeness.
Aromas of cherries, raspberries and violets which marry well with the new French oak and a creamy malolactic subtleness. The smoky oak is prevalent but does not dominate allowing the fruit to express itself. Elegant raspberry and cherry flavours on the palate with a nice structural balance of acids, tannins and oak combined with malolactic richness.
Pinot Noir, is a very food friendly wine and particularly well matched with lamb and game meats. Enjoy with savoury dishes or on its own. Best served at room temperature. Drink now or cellar for up to 5 years
