Tasting Notes
Aroma
Aromatics of
dried herbs, bramble, crushed red berries and an earthy
character.
Palate
The palate is framed by softly powdered
tannins and plump ripe fruit. A subtle, elegant, terroir
driven wine that shows the delicacy of the 2022 vintage.
Vinification
Handpicked parcels of fruit were kept separate within
their blocks and clones where applicable. Fruit was
nearly all destemmed, apart from a small 10% portion
of whole bunches that create lift in aromatics and a fine
tannin profile in the mid-palate.
After 18 – 25 days on their skins, wine was drained and
the skins pressed. The wine was run to 228 L French
oak barriques, 25% of which are new. The wines go
through a natural malolactic fermentation in spring.
Only the best barrels and parcels are selected for Sound
of White and the chosen components are blended
in March and then run back to barrel for a further 5
months before bottling in July the following year. The
wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered. A harmless
sediment may form over time. This wine is vegan and
carnivore friendly.
Cellaring Potential
This wine, while drinking well in it’s youth, will greatly
reward time cellaring under the right conditions.
Vintage Notes
The 21/22 season is one for the books. Winter rains
replenished parched soils and broke a three-year
drought. A warm and wet winter continued into spring,
bringing lush growth to the vines, and a perfect
flowering. January was warm and dry, and dropping
excess fruit was necessary to ensure quality fruit.
Individual parcels were hand harvested on the 16th,
21st and 25th of March, 2022.
Food Matching
Game meats, mushroom & truffle dishes, prosciutto
(however you like it!).
Region Notes
The aim for our single vineyard Sound of White wines
is always quality. Over half of the fruit for the 2022
Sound of White Pinot Noir came from our oldest vines
on the hillside block. There was no clonal selection
when planted and is a mix of Dijon clones and Abel. The
balance of fruit is from younger vines in A block from
clones Abel and 5. The inherent clay in the soils helps to
create structure and depth and Pinot Noir thrives in our
glacial Waihopai soils.
