Vidal Reserve Marlborough Pinot Noir 2018
- French oak
- Red berry & cherry
- Spice notes
- Florals
Beautifully fragrant red berry and floral aromas combine with flavours of cherry, spice with earthy undertones on a finely textured palate. Enjoyable in its youth and will continue to gain complexity with time.
This Pinot Noir from the 2018 vintage is a blend of premium vineyards in the southern Wairau Valley (78%) and Awatere Valley (22%) of Marlborough. The unique mesoclimates in these valleys, combined with an unwavering attention to detail in the vineyards, consistently produces fruit of the highest quality.
Parcels of grapes were harvested and cold-soaked before fermentation. Ferments were hand plunged, allowing gentle extraction of flavour. Some batches were hot fermented to contribute density, structure and savoury complexity, while others were fermented at lower temperatures to emphasise fruit characters, purity and elegance. The wines were pressed and run to French barrique where malolactic fermentation took place. Extended maturation on lees has added depth and complexity.
Food Pairing: Poultry, game and pork.
