Lawson's Dry Hills Estate Marlborough Pinot Noir 2020
- French oak
- Red fruit
- Slightly savoury
- Bright & vibrant
This wine is distinctly varietal showing ripe, fresh red fruit characters matched with appealing, slight savoury French oak aromatics. The palate is bright and vibrant with a fleshy midpalate and lovely length.
This wine comes from three fantastic vineyards in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys. Clay soils help the grapes develop flavour and the supple texture found in the wine. The vines are carefully tended to ensure low crops and ripe, flavoursome grapes in top condition.
The grapes were gently crushed and the juice run into small, open-top fermenters and held cold for five days’ maceration. The vats were then inoculated with a specially selected, cultured yeast to trigger fermentation. During fermentation the wine was hand plunged to gently extract colour, tannin and flavour from the skins. The resulting wines were left on skins for around seven days post ferment before pressing to predominantly old French Oak barriques (5% new). The wine was blended after ten months maturation in barrel.
Food Pairing: Hot ham, pork, chicken, light red meat dishes, grilled dishes, seared tuna, stews and casseroles, pizza and pasta. Also enjoyable just as a lovely glass of Pinot Noir on its own!
