HAHA - Pinot Noir 2018

Tasting Notes

Garnet red in color. A beautifully aromatic Pinot Noir, with cherry, plum and spice notes.
On the palate, black fruit flavours combine with rich savory characters, a silky-smooth texture and long finish. This wine is perfect with duck, roast lamb and spicy chorizo dishes.

Vinification Note

The grapes are hand-picked from idyllic vineyards in the Awatere Valley and Upper Wairau Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand. The soils are ancient river beds with free draining stony soils and silty clay loams.

Viticulture: Vertical shoot positioned trellis was used with cordon spur pruning, providing an average of 4 tons per acre. 35% French Oak barrel aged, total maturation was for 10 months.

Vintage: A warm summer punctuated by stints of wind and rain, resulted in good flavor development and structure.
