Nga Waka Lease Block Martinborough Pinot Noir 2020
- French oak
- Berry & spice
- Red cherry
- Silken texture
"Rich, ripe, fruit focused pinot noir with Black Doris plum, dark cherry, cassis, vanilla and spicy oak flavours. An accessible and appealing wine with a silken texture and lingering finish. Clearly from a successful vintage" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2021
"Still very youthful, the delicious 2020 vintage (5*) is a single-vineyard red, from vines planted in 1999. Matured for 16 months in French oak barriques (30 per cent new), it is deep ruby, mouthfilling, sweet-fruited and supple, with very generous cherry, plum and spice flavours, ripe, savoury and harmonious. A classy young red, it’s well worth cellaring to 2024+" Michael Cooper
"Youthful, fresh, ripe and varietal bouquet with layers of red berry fruit scents, mineral, barrel spices and pinosity. Dry on the palate with rather intense flavours of raspberry and red cherry, some plum then barrel spices of clove and vanilla with a savoury soil and dried herb complexity. Firm-ish tannins and plenty of acidity. A youthful and very engaging wine, well made and ready for drinking from early 2023 through 2030" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2022
The wine showcases the berry, spice and savoury flavours for which Martinborough Pinot Noir is renowned with the extra depth, texture and complexity that mature vines and an outstanding site deliver.
