Wine Notes
Pinot Noir grapes were harvested from the Cromwell Basin in Central Otago. The hard slate soils surrounding the old goldfi elds of Otago offer little fertility and good heat retention for grape vines growing along the hills. Ripe black cherry with mineral notes become evident on the aroma, while sweet cherry and raspberry fruit on the palate are well-balanced with infl uences of mountain herbs and spicy oak notes.

Food match
From slow roasted lamb to Asian inspired duck or Mediterranean wild mushroom risotto, this silky Pinot Noir is perfectly at home.

Viticulture
Pinot Noir grapes were sourced from two vineyards in the Lowburn sub-region of the Cromwell Basin in Central Otago, each representing a specific flavour component. The vintage was low cropping and produced small berries from a dry, hot season.

Cellaring Potential
Great drinking from late 2008 through 2012.

Winemaking
Hand-harvested fruit was partially destemmed and crushed to open fermenters. After a cold soak for eight days, fermentation with natural yeasts and cap management of two daily punch downs, the wine was pressed and transferred to French oak barriques (33% new) for malolactic conversion and maturation.
