2019 Mount Riley Pinot Noir

Weather conditions through Pinot Noir flowering were poor, resulting in extremely light crops. We then had very warm and dry weather through January, February and March. As a result, the Pinot Noir wines we made in the 2019 vintage are some of the most intense and concentrated that we’ve ever made. Our 2019 Pinot Noir is a blend sourced from three of our Marlborough vineyards situated in the Southern Valleys sub-region. Diversity of clone allowed us to make a complex and complete wine with vibrant, pure fruit character and depth of flavour. Grapes were cold soaked, fermented in small parcels and aged for nine months in French oak barriques.
