Description
This wine was grown on the Barton Vineyard, Huangarua Road,
Martinborough from vines 26 years old. A combination of deep alluvial gravels which the Martinborough Terraces are renowned for, and a blend of many clones grown in
a very sheltered spot always rewards us with a classic example of
New World Pinot Noir.
Hand harvested fruit was open top fermented using indigenous yeasts in traditional wooden cuvees, hand plunged every 12 hours, with a total vat time of 22 days. After pressing it was matured in 40% new French oak barriques for 18 months. It was fined to protect the flavours and aid brightness in the glass. Bottled without
filtration, promoting soft mouth feel and texture.
