Gold – The Spiegelau International Wine Competition 2013
WINEMAKER’S COMMENT
A fragrant bouquet of red and dark cherries, red berry fruit and subtle spice notes. The wine is concentrated and juicy displaying long layers of flavour, integrated acidity and fine grainy tannins.
VINEYARD & WINEMAKING
The fruit for this wine originates from the Awatere and Wairau valleys in Marlborough. The 2012 vintage was unique due to a three week extension in the grapes’ ripening period resulting in wines with pronounced aromatics, concentration and flavour. The wine is made with true respect for the fruit with gentle handling through the winery and ageing in new and seasoned French oak for 10 months with the result being a silky refined and layered Marlborough Pinot Noir.
WINE AND FOOD
Red and white meats including lamb, duck and wild game.
