Astrolabe Pinot Noir

Description

In the province of Marlborough high sunshine hours are moderated by a mild sea, while steep mountains keep moist and chilly winds at bay. A long cool growing season leads to gorgeous flavours.My goal is to make the Province wines in a classic Marlborough vein, emphasising the varietal intensity created by leafy vineyards, ripe fruit and cool-climate growing. – Simon Waghorn, WinemakerStyle Note Colour/Appearance Bright deep garnet.Aroma/Bouquet Savoury ripe dark and red cherry, brambly fruits with a hint of smoky oak.Palate Full bodied wine with round, mouth filling flavours of plum, brambly fruit and dark cherry. The oak integrates nicely with the fruit, and combines well with the silky and linear tannin structure.Cellaring This wine should cellar well until at least 2020. Bottling date was 9th March, 2015.Suggested Foods Venison, lamb, wild game and game fowl, Asian-style duck, seared tuna and swordfish. – Astrolabe Wines
