Providore Luminaire Central Otago Blanc de Noir 2019
- Dry style
- White peach
- Honeysuckle
- Salivating
"It's gorgeously lifted on the nose showing rock melon, apricot, lemon zest and subtle cherry notes, leading to a beautifully weighted palate that's juicy and flavoursome. The wine offers pristine fruit flavours together with elegant mouthfeel and fine texture, making it refined and engaging" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2020
Pale peach with clear hues. Perfumed with melon, white peach, red apple, musk, honeysuckle and rose petal with hints of cinnamon and aniseed. Lovely entry of white stone fruit, honeyed orange, pears, pawpaw and apricot nectar. Succulent and salivating with a pleasing mineral vein and a long crisp apple finish.
2019 started off well with above average rainfall and temperatures but turned very nasty during mid-November where we had six inches of snow on the ground. We escaped any frost damage but did lose some vine shoots due to snow loading. The weather picked up for a warm and dry summer with really good heat. Autumn was cool with the return of now unwelcome rain. The fruit and vines were in very good condition and stood up well the late rain. The fruit came into the winery in excellent condition.
Our 2019 Luminaire comes from Alexandra. We used the fruit from a specific part of the vineyard due to the fruits suitability to make a great Blanc de Noir: Lower colour skins, larger berry size, and very pretty fruit flavours. The 100 Pinot Noir fruit was handpicked then gently whole bunch pressed to minimise colour pick up. The resulting juice was clean racked for cool batch fermentation. Fermentation was stopped at very close to complete dryness to build palate weight rather than leave any sweetness.
Food Pairing: Matches well with stronger flavoured foods like currys and spice, but will complement delicate seafood as well.
