About this product
Delta was founded in 2000 by three prominent wine industry veterans and good mates, who had spent evenings enjoying wine and discussing the potential for exceptional and unique Pinot Noir in Marlborough. Using their collective viticulture and winemaking expertise they found a site that was ideal for growing high-quality Pinot Noir and planted it with selected Dijon clones. They spared no expenses in their Delta venture: investing in the best land and vines; cropping at extremely low levels; hand harvesting with multiple picks throughout the harvest season; and using the best winemaking techniques.Over the last decade and a half it’s fair to say that Delta has redefined the notion of great-value, expressive New Zealand Pinot Noir.
The Delta Pinot Noir vineyard lies on the south side of Marlborough's Wairau Valley. It was planted to the best Dijon clones in 2002. For this wine, clones 115 and 777 were harvested, then held cold in the winery for four days before fermentation. Fermented with cultured yeasts, and hand plunged up to six to eight times daily. Pressed to tank, settled and then racked off gross lees. Malolactic conversion and maturation in a combination of seasoned French oak and stainless steel.
