Millton La Cote Gisborne Pinot Noir 2017
- Dark cherry
- Juniper berry
- Fennel & manuka florals
- Firm tannins
"It is imperative that you give this wine, from NZ's biodynamic guru James Millton, a little time in the glass or a decanter. It will reward you tenfold with brambly fruit, a medley of spices, dried rose petals and violets, mushrooms and a lingering reductive earthiness that will excite many a Burgun" Wine Enthusiast
A bright fruited, expressive nose, with notes of dark cherry, juniper berry and an intriguing hint of fennel and manuka flower. There is a savoury taste with firm tannins and ripe fruit finishing with a lively mineral edge to balance. Unfined. Unfiltered.
‘La Cote’ is a section of the Clos de Ste Anne vineyard, situated on steep northeast facing slopes in the foothills of Poverty Bay. ‘La Cote’ is home to a collection of modern Pinot Noir clones and like all the Millton vineyards is dry farmed and has been cultivated biodynamically since 1989. The winemaker looks to the old world for inspiration with Pinot Noir.
A selection of specific slopes and planting comprise the decision as to where to source the fruit from for this wine. The soils are dense clay over sandstone, including the surrounding manuka scrubs nearby, giving fruit of smallish bunches and moderate vigour. The grapes are harvested by hand, chilled, sorted and de-stemmed uncrushed into small wooden cuves for prolonged fermentation using natural yeasts. Pressing takes place after one lunar phase – 28 days where the wine rests for a time more until being put to barrel.
Food Pairing: Enjoy, with friends, lamb and other fine grilled pieces.
