Yealands Land Made Series Marlborough Pinot Noir 2015
Offers ripe plum aromas with a touch of spice. The juicy ripe red fruit flavours lead into a supple, soft tannin finish.
Food Match: Beautifully matched with lamb dishes.
2015 was an incredibly smooth harvest which commenced around a week earlier than expected. This was due to the consistently dry, warm weather we enjoyed all summer in Marlborough, as well as the lighter crop from the cooler weather over the flowering period. The whole growing season was incredibly dry with the region only receiving around 40% of its annual rainfall, putting pressure on the water supply within the region. Fortunately, all our Pinot Noir vineyards came through the season very well with no impact on quality due to the low soil moisture levels experienced.
The resulting fruit was harvested with intense concentration which led to a Pinot Noir with excellent depth of flavour and structure.
The low yielding Pinot Noir blocks were harvested at optimum ripeness. The parcels were cold macerated at 6 – 8 degrees for around five days before being warmed and inoculated with selected yeasts. A fast, hot fermentation proceeded with regular plunging to craft a wine with elegance and balance. The parcels were gently pressed off after fermentation, with a short period of post ferment maceration to achieve the desired tannin balance. The wine was aged with French oak while undergoing malolactic fermentation. The wine was then stabilised, blended and filtered prior to bottling.
