Mata-Au Pinot Noir 2022

wine description:
Deliciously perfumed with cherry and cranberry red fruits, violet and rose
florals. Fresh and pure with flavours of red cherries and strawberry on an
open and expansive palate. Persistent and silky tannins effortlessly flow into
the back of the palate with a long savory finish.
winemakers comments:
Our Mata-Au vineyards are located in the Lowburn and Parkburn areas of the
Cromwell basin. The vineyards are planted on the terraces formed by ancient
glaciers that pushed in to the Cromwell basin schist based soils formed by
the Mata-Au (Clutha) River (pronounced – martar-o). The unique combination
of site, soil and mild continental climate produces perfumed wines with
elegant texture, structure and mineral length. It is made from the best blocks
in our best vineyards in the Lowburn Parkburn sub-region. Mata-Au
showcases the succulent red fruits and silky tannins that are the hallmarks
of this sub-region, delivered in our elegant, textural and length driven style.
