Intensely perfumed with lifted mocha spice notes interlaces with red cheery and dried thyme. An attractive, structured palate with layers of ripe red fruit and silky tannins. Enjoy now, or cellar up to 5 years.
The growing season in the Awatere Valley started out warm and dry, resulting in even flowering and ultimately balanced vines. The warm weather continued through Spring and Summer, with periodic rains which kept the vines hydrated throughout the growing season. These warmer conditions also meant vintage started around two weeks earlier than the previous year. This Pinot Noir was harvested in excellent condition and the resulting wine shows the wonderful hallmarks that the Awatere Valley is known for – lifted fruit flavours in the dark berry spectrum balanced with earthy savoury notes, vibrancy, purity and structure.
This low yielding Pinot Noir blocks were harvested at optimum ripeness. The parcels were cold macerated before being warmed and inoculated with selected yeasts. A fast, hot fermentation proceeded with regular plunging to craft a wine with elegance and balance. The parcels were gently pressed off after fermentation, with a short period of post ferment maceration to achieve the desired tannin balance. The wine was aged with French oak while undergoing malolactic fermentation. It was then blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
Yealands wine is inspired by the coast that surrounds them, so close to the ocean that the vines are often misted with sea spray. The beauty of this environment influences how they craft wine, respectful of nature and the land. Yealands believes in sustainable winemaking and creating thoughtfully crafted wines that work in harmony with their landscape. The Reserve collection brings together the finest fruit from select sites within their vineyard to create a range of premium wines that showcase the best of both their variety and the region.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with red meats such as venison or slow roasted leg of lamb.
Suitable for vegetarians, vegans and a gluten free diet.
