Tasting Notes
Aroma
Alma 21 is immediately floral, with notes of lavender, peonies, wild strawberries, and ripe, red cherries.
Appearance
A captivating rose-red and crimson in the glass.
Palate
Woodsmoke, spice and incense meld into forest berries and rich black plums on a long, savoury palate hanging on precise, concentrated, super-fine tannins. A wine of persistence, that overflows with appeal, Alma Pinot Noir 21 is immediately enjoyable and endless in its enchantment.
Vinification
The individual lots were each destemmed and given a traditional warm-plunged fermentation. The resulting wines underwent extended maceration on skins before pressing. The separate wines were then run to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barriques for 10 months maturation.
Cellaring Potential
Alma Pinot Noir 21 is closed with a Diam cork, which eliminates any possibility of cork taint, allowing continued evolution in bottle for 10 years from harvest.
Range Notes
Alma celebrates Dr James Thomson, a hero of the 1854 Battle of the Alma during the Crimean War and forefather to Te Mata Estates Buck family. Knowing the vanquished enemy soldiers had already contracted cholera, Dr Thomson volunteered to tend to their wounds, saving the lives of over four hundred, and sacrificing his own in the process. The medal he was awarded for this selfless act of valour appears on the label of Alma Pinot Noir.
