Bob Campbell
Medium-bodied pinot noir that's accessible now with moderately soft tannins and a core of sweetness. Appealing wine that will develop greater complexity with bottle age. Points: 92/100

Tasting Notes
Maturation
100% French oak - 20% new. 10 months in oak then racked and blended.
Palate
Vanilla, violets and pink peppercorns are woven together with notes of pomegranate, blueberries and soft acidity. Fine, cocoa-like tannins tie this wine together with elegance and purity. There are seductive, brooding, earthy, visceral nuances throughout this Moutere Pinot. It's Autumnal and crunchy which keeps it refreshing and restrained.
Vinification
Fruit chilled, sorted and destemmed. Hand plunged, twice daily. 100% wile yeast ferment in open-top vessel with peak temperature of 32C. 100% natural malolactic fermantion in the spring.
Vintage Notes
A wet start to the season followed by a dry, albeit warm spring and summer. February rains provided a challenge close to harvest, but a dry picking window allowed for disease pressures to be managed. A season producing wines of elegance, rather svelte in stature, and approachable.
Region Notes
Nelson lends itself to sophisticated, savoury Pinot Noir. Moutere clay gravels (clay loam, with small pebbles in upper horizon), 60m elevation, north facing.

Mid-ruby. Unfurling nose: floral with an amalgam of red and black fruits, lightly peppery with layered interest from oak and bouquet garni herbs.The palate starts elegant and flows across the grainy tannins which cose in on the dry and grippy finish. Oriental market and seed spice flavours develop on the back. This needs more time to settle, but the structure will likely remain dominant over the mid-weight fruit. Still, an elegant and classy pinot noir which is well worth cellaring. Points: 95/100

The echo of place and time, soil and tradition are instantly recognisable with this fine example. Aromas of red apple skin and cherry, wild flowers and red berries, a touch of earth smoke then gentle spice of oak deliver complexity and charm without compromising variety and delicacy. Dry, taut, textured and delicious, a wine that needs time to open and develop in glass showcasing fine chalky tannins, lees a nd spice qualities, mid palate core of fruit and a complex, yet youthful finish. A wine for the cellar with best window for drinking likely from 2027 through 2037. Points: 95/100
