2014 Drumsara Pinot Noir

Central Otago

New Zealand

The 2014 Pinot Noir is another well defined example of Drumsara Wines’ Terroir. A dark red Pinot Noir with a powerful and complex aroma of wild cherries, dark plum, sweet raspberry with thyme and spices. The palate displays a sweet concentration of dark fruit, thyme and vanilla. The tannins are fine and subtle giving concentration and length to the wine.

Winemaker's notes

The Autumn was dry and warm allowing the ripening fruit to develop good varietal flavors. The fruit at harvest was impeccably clean with good maturity. Pinot Noir Clone 5 52%, B667 12%, B777 17%, 115 6% & Able 13%. Hand picked. The whole bunches enter the de-stemmer / crusher, adjusted to allow for 90% of the berries to be crushed to release the juice and the remaining 10% to remain whole.
