100% Pinot Noir from Yealand's Willowflat Vineyard in the Awatere Valley of Marlborough, an area well suited to high quality Pinot Noir production.
Regular hand plunging has helped to craft a wine with elegance and balance. 15% was aged for 12 months in new French oak barriques, 50% into second year and 35% into third year French oak. The blend was lightly filtered prior to bottling.
Winemaker's Comments
Intrigues with beautiful floral notes and elegance. These attributes are enhanced with French oak barrels whilst being very careful not to include too much new oak. This is an elegant Pinot Noir showing ripe red fruit and floral characters enhanced by well integrated oak and a velvety texture.
