Organic Pinot Noir, Urlar

Elegant New Zealand Pinot Noir, the nose an enticing amalgam of ripe red berries, the mouth a burst of black plum, the whole finished with a fragrance of sweet spice.

Vineyard: Proudly, family owned. Our vision is to produce outstanding single vineyard wines that reflect their origins. We feel the only way to give integrity to this vision is to grow grapes and make wine utilising both organic and biodynamic principles.
Vinification: The grapes are tipped into a mixture of stainless steel and Oak cuvees. A proportion of the grapes is cold soaked and the ferment is started with wild yeasts. The ferment is allowed to peak at about 32oc and then allowed to finish. The wine is then taken off the skins and put to tank prior to going to barrel. When in Barrel a portion is put through malolactic fermentation in the Spring and some in the Autumn. The wine then sits in barrel for up to 11 months.

Beautifully suited to a rack of lamb or gamey dishes such as venison or duck.
