Tasting Notes
Aroma
A lifted bouquet of ripe nectarine, lemon zest, and wild herbs leads into a vibrant palate.
Palate
White florals, juicy pear, and soft citrus. Elegant and finely structured, this
vintage shows purity and poise, with a lingering mineral finish. Delightful now, with
the potential to evolve beautifully in bottle.
Vinification
Hand-picked in ideal condition and ripeness between the 2nd - 4th of April. Whole bunch pressed,
minimum settling followed by natural fermentation and aged on yeast lees for 10 months during
which full malolactic fermentation occured. Bottled: 26th of February 2025.
Vintage Notes
The 23/24 growing season started with some heavy spring rains, before settling down
into a drier season than the previous three. Budburst appeared on September 25 and
we moved seamlessly into the growing season. Other than some major wind events in
early October, the vines progressed favourably and we finished our first round of
shoot thinning by October 25. Mother Nature stepped in with a significant frost event
on October 27 setting us back ,however we did see a very good flowering and fruit set
this year. The frost surely took its toll on our Pinot Noir volume and we will make less this year.
Rest assured the quality is outstanding.
Food Matching
Pair beautifully with fresh seafood, we
were thinking snapper or pan-seared scallops.
Region Notes
This wine is from our BioGro certified organic and Demeter certified biodynamic estate
vineyard located in the Bendigo sub-region of Central Otago. The vineyard was planted in
1998 after careful site selection. The soils on the beautiful north facing slope are Waenga
fine sandy loam and Letts steepland soil with an elevation of 217 - 264 metres, on 44.55°
south.
