Description This is an outstanding example of classic Martinborough Pinot Noir, which encompasses the very best of Te Muna Road. The wine has a lifted fragrance of goji berry, anise, dried apricot, vanilla, red berries and spice. It has a medium body with fine grained tannins, which give it a silky mouthfeel. There is a lovely more-ish nature to this wine, which showcases purity and minerality from the cooler year of 2022. Fermentation in open top traditional cuves with indigenous yeast was hand plunged once daily, with a total vat time of 28 days. After pressing, the wine was matured in 30% new French oak barriques for 20 months, without racking. It was bottled without fining or filtration, promoting soft mouth feel. Food pairing: Enjoy it with game meats and roast or BBQed duck Ageing potential: It will cellar gracefully for up to 10 years. Alcohol: 14.0% ABV
