Q Wine Waitaki Valley Pinot Noir 2021
"Fabulous bouquet with aromas of fresh, ripe and pure fruit aromas including red and dark cherry, plum and cranberry, complex, youthful and floral. Plush, ripe, taut and delicious on the palate, a wine with pinosity and style. Chalky tannins and acidity deliver mouthfeel and foundation while the fruit. floral and abundant mineral attributes showcase the variety. Excellent drinking from late 2023 through 2033" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
Complex aromas of wild berry and vanilla with a hint of forest floor and spice. The tannins are firm yet fresh making this an elegant Pinot Noir.
A one in eighty year drought for the Waitaki saw creeks dry and pastures crack early in Spring of 2020. Leaving the vineyard crew racing to turn on irrigation not used in 15 years. With the dry conditions the risk of frost increased and with the influence of the October full moon our Q WINE vineyard took some damage.
Flowering proved to be successful for our Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, however there were some cooler conditions during the Chardonnay flowering period which did reduce our Chardonnay crop size.
The drought breaker come with a massive rain event in early January setting up a beautiful healthy canopy across the whole vineyard and great fruit. The race towards harvest was aided by dry and hot ripening conditions all the way to one of Waitaki’s earliest and best vintages.
