Winemakers Comments
The 2024 Marlborough season was warm, dry and windy. Vine growth began late, and it quickly became obvious that the harvest would be much smaller than previous years. With fewer berries on the vine, the warm temperatures through summer caused one of the shortest ripening periods on record. Cool evenings helped retain acidity during ripening and balanced the concentrated, ripe fruit flavors. This wine was made from fruit grown in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys where the northwest facing slopes and clay-based soils provide great conditions for growing Pinot Noir. It was fermented in a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels, and aged for eleven months before being bottled under screwcap for maximum freshness.
