"Distinctive and immediately captivating with aromas of white smoke and toasty oak, reds berries and cherry, red apple and crushed rose. Dry on the palate with lots of youthful tension contrasted by a core pf red fruit flavours and plum. Baking spices, firm youthful tannins and plenty of acidity. Enjoy from early 2020 through 2024" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2019
"Attractively fruited and elegantly styled, the wine shows lovely juicy attack of dark cherries and raspberries on the nose with subtle notes of floral, thyme and toasted spice. It’s juicy and supple on the palate with refreshing mouthfeel and silky texture, finishing lingering and smooth" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2019
A medium bodied and beautifully balanced Marlborough Pinot Noir. The nose shows attractive notes of ripe plums and wild strawberries with a hint of cloves and spice. The palate displays supple red fruit flavours and soft, fine tannins. This wine has an elegant structure, silky texture and juicy acidity to give freshness, and it closes in a lingering finish.
This wine was made from selected premium vineyards in the winemakers dedicated Pinot Noir Cellar using principles of minimal handling and gravity flow. After a cold soak and indigenous fermentation the wine was pressed into French oak barriques for maturation, before being clarified and bottled in February 2019.
Meaning “smoky river” in Maori, Opawa is a vineyard located on the old river bed of the historic Opawa River in Marlborough. The stony river gravels absorb the sun’s warmth during the day, radiating it back onto the grapes at night, evolving the delicious aromas and flavours in these wines.Our grapes are picked in the cool of night, under the moonlight, to ensure these pristine flavours are perfectly preserved in these wines.
