Kim Crawford Pinot Noir 2019

Kim Crawford is a 100% Pinot Noir from prime cool-climate vineyards on the South Island. Grapes were crushed then cold soaked on the skins for 5 days. Innoculated with a mixture of pure and wild yeast strains to gain maximum flavour and complexity. Once fermented dry, it was pressed off the skins into tank and 60% of the blend went into a combination of old and new French oak barrels for 8 months. All of the wine went through malolactic fermentation. Rich, ripe aromas of strawberry and cherry complemented by hints of toasted spice. Vibrant fresh, dark-fruit flavours of plum and blackberry provide a pleasant sweetness underpinned by nuances of cocoa and coffee. Silky soft tannins give structure and weight. An enjoyable long finish allows the wine to be fully savoured. Back to Kim Crawford Wine
