Personalised Neudorf Home Block Moutere Pinot Noir 2022 13.5% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

PALATE

Vanilla, violets and pink peppercorns are woven together with notes of pomegranate, blueberries and soft acidity. Fine, cocoa-like tannins tie this wine together with elegance and purity. There are seductive, brooding, earthy, visceral nuances throughout this Moutere Pinot. It’s Autumnal and crunchy which keeps it refreshing and restrained.

VINIFICATION

Fruit chilled, sorted and destemmed. Hand plunged, twice daily. 100% wile yeast ferment in open-top vessel with peak temperature of 32C. 100% natural malolactic fermantion in the spring.

MATURATION

100% French oak – 20% new. 10 months in oak then racked and blended.

VINTAGE NOTE

A wet start to the season followed by a dry, albeit warm spring and summer. February rains provided a challenge close to harvest, but a dry picking window allowed for disease pressures to be managed. A season producing wines of elegance, rather svelte in stature, and approachable.

REGION NOTES

Nelson lends itself to sophisticated, savoury Pinot Noir. Moutere clay gravels (clay loam, with small pebbles in upper horizon), 60m elevation, north facing.
