2021 F-SERIES Pinot Noir
750ml
Regular price
$45.00
A more structured style of Pinot Noir when compared to the Framingham offering. A vineyard selection from sites generally in the southern part of the Wairau valley, where the soils have a little more clay and loam in them compared to the stony soils of our estate. More whole bunches, up to 25-30% depending on vintage conditions, are included. Fermentation and MLF occurs spontaneously, and the wine is left on skins for longer on average for Framingham. Elevage is in French oak barriques, 20% new, for around 14 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Harmless crystals may form in the bottle.
Tastes like it will develop well. Plan to put it down for 5-7 years to drink it at its best.
Nicely balanced wine
Smooth & delicious.
I'm not usually a fan of Marlborough Pinots. This one is an exception. A delicious, balanced and flavourful pinot. And great value too!
