This wine was grown on the Barton Vineyard, Huangarua Road, Martinborough from vines 21 years old. A combination of deep alluvial gravels which the Martinborough Terraces are renowned for & a blend of many clones grown in a very sheltered spot always rewards us with a classic example of New World Pinot Noir. It was open topped fermented using indigenous yeasts in traditional wooded cuvees, hand plunged every 12 hours, with a total vat time of 25 days. After pressing it was matured in 30% new French oak barriques for 12 months. It was fined using a minimum of egg whites to protect the flavours & aid brightness in the glass without filtering, promoting soft mouth feel & texture. It has a unique site derived complexity combined with black cherry/plum fruit flavours. It will continue to develop for up to 10 years & will always be a wonderful counterpart to any game food. ...
