Aged in French Oak barrels (25 % new) for 18 months. No fining or filtration is applied.
2016 was a very good vintage for Waipara Valley for both quality and quantity. The color is clear dark American cherry red with pinky ruby hue. Aroma of dark cherry, blue berry, dried dates and hint of dark chocolate. Fine silky tannins with sweet fresh plum cherry fruit flavor with good acidity backbone. Flavors are still primary but will be changed by the time of aging.
Good drinking now, or can be cellared for another 5 years.
From a limestone-rich hillside vineyard in Waipara. Dense, tangy pinot noir with plum, violet, spice, anise, fresh herb and spicy oak flavours. A moderately dense, high energy wine with a distinctive character. Approachable now but deserves to be cellared for at least a few years. Unfined and unfiltered. Drink 2019–2024.
