Cable Bay Central Otago Pinot Noir

A selection of Pinot Noir clones are grown on our hillside vineyard in Marlborough’s Brancott Valley. Yield is managed to a maximum of 2 tonne/acre (32 hl/hectare) to provide ripe, concentrated grapes. Each clone contributes a unique personality to the final blend whether it be fragrance, depth or structure.

The grapes were hand harvested and gently crushed into open-top fermenters. Before fermentation, the crushed grapes are cold soaked for several days to gently extract colour and tannin. Regular hand-plunging was used during fermentation to avoid extracting aggressive phenolics which would detract from the elegance of the finished wine. The free run wine only is then run off to French oak barrels for maturation. The final blend is bottled without fining and only minimal filtration.

An intriguing wine displaying a perfumed nose of dark and red cherry fruit complimented by subtle spice notes. A complex palate with great fruit tannin balance, finishing with a silky texture.
