MARLBOROUGH ORGANIC  Pinot Noir 2022  Winemakers Comment  This Pinot Noir expresses black fruits like boysenberries and blueberries with  subtle floral notes and gentle acidity. The cocoa powder tannins and smoky  toasty notes add complexity with a generous earthy textural finish.  Serving Suggestion  This wine pairs well with New Zealand lamb, but rich enough to enhance  slow-cooked beef cheeks. For a plant-based alternative, try with mushroom  or truffle-accented dishes to accentuate it’s earthy character.  Season Viticulture  The Marlborough growing season started off well with very little frost pressure  during spring. Flowering went without a glitch, due healthy soil moisture levels  the canopies looked lush and vibrant. The start of 2022 summer was slightly  colder; February was below the long-term average in temperature however  the weather settled with a slightly damp autumn.   Winemaking  Mixture sizes open top fermenters, gentle extraction of tannins to frame  fresh fruit characteristics, natural ferments with yeasts from the vineyards are  encouraged.  heldnilaT etaiTs  VARIETIES: 100% Pinot Noir  ALCOHOL: 12.5%  TOTAL ACIDITY: 5.6  PH: 3.58g/l  RESIDUAL SUGAR: 0.1g/
