Spy ValleySatellite Marlborough Pinot Noir
About this product
2018 was a very warm growing season, being dry through Spring and Summer, and a change to wetter conditions in the Autumn harvest period. Our quickest harvest to date had the Pinot Noir rapidly picked from the vines between periods of rain, with great flavours.
Our selected estate vineyard blocks were kept separate until final blending.
The grape bunches are mostly destemmed and all fermented naturally in open vats. After gentle plunging, the wine was drained to barrels for 11 months prior to blending.
Aroma:
Fresh and vibrant notes of cherry with an overlay of dried spice and cloves.
Palate:
Layers of bright red fruits with hints of vanillin oak creating a finely balanced and long finish.
