Single-vineyard, premium Pinot Noir.
A wine whose character has intrigued us throughout its development. Flavours flowed and receded throughout ferment. Texture shifting from weighty to silky. It was deceptive, multifaceted. Not to be taken at face value. This is a princess in overalls. A poet painting fences.
Lit with a pure bright brilliance in colour. Classic Wairarapa expression - complex savoury flavours on a silky bed of pert & poised acidity & complementary tannins.
For us, flavours evoked include dark cherry, vanilla & mushroom. There's a sense of black liquorice strap & dark cocoa too. Whatever you find, very confident you will agree this is sensuous, balanced & complex wine. Sophisticated & powerful. Worthy of your time. Will cellar well.
