Mansons Farm Pinot Noir is hand crafted in very limited quantities, this is its second release. Earthy, savoury, sauvage raspberry notes dominate, with background violet floral notes. Floral notes lift the red berry characters, that introduce the wine. These flow into a more densely sculptured mid-palate. The wine continues to build through the finish, and displays a lovely tension through persistent fine-grained tannins acidity and spicy red berry fruit.
Mt Difficulty Mansons Farm Pinot Noir will improve for 10 -15 years given optimal cellaring conditions.
4 1/2 Stars - Michael Cooper, 16 July 2018
"Described on the label as "muscular", the 2015 vintage (4.5*) is from vines planted at Bannockburn in 2000. Barrel-aged for 16 months, it is ruby hued, mouthfilling and firmly structured, with deep, youthful plum, spice, herb and nut flavours, savoury and complex, fresh acidity and obvious cellaring potential. Open 2020+."
96 Points - Bob Campbell, New Zealand Master of Wine, 22 July 2018
"This is only the second release of this single vineyard wine from one of the older vineyard sites in Bannockburn. A seductively soft and silken pinot noir, with initial fruit sweetness giving way to a pleasantly drying finish. Quite a floral, fragrant wine with hidden depths that bottle age promises to reveal".
