Mount Edward Pinot Noir Central Otago NZ

Peregrine Wines Pinot Noir Central Otago NZ from New Zealand, Central Otago by Peregrine Wines Central Otago Ltd Queenstown (12 x 75 cl)

The grapes that make up this wine come from Pipeclay Terrace, Target Gully, Mansons Farm and Long Gully Vineyards. The majority of the vines are trained on a hanging cane system, which helps to expose the fruit to sunshine. The canopy was intensively managed during the growing season to help the vine achieve balance as well as exposing fruit so that flavours develop to their maximum potential. The open canopy also reduces the risk of disease meaning that we use no fungicides, pesticides or insecticides. All of the grapes are hand harvested. The grapes are destemmed only and not crushed to retain some whole berries in the must, with 25% of ferments undergoing some whole cluster trials. The ferments underwent 3 (12 x 75 cl)

Vintage kicked in through the second and third weeks of April. Every clone and block was picked and handled separately in the winery, de-stemmed and soaked for up to a week until indigenous yeasts begain fermentation. We then plunged the ferments with 'Bigfoot', the latest addition to the winemakers' toy cupboard, which proved extremely useful during those late night punchdowns. Each ferment was gently pressed and run off to tight grained French Oak barrels and matured in our underground cellars at Lake Hayes. After Malolactic fermentation in the spring the wine was racked and the blend made for this Amisfield Pinot Noir. The style is classic Central Otago Pinot, showing concentration from ripe fruit & low yields, complexity from the range of vineyard components, and texture from well handled fermentation and maturation. Drinking well on release we are confident this wine will improve with careful cellaring for up to 5 years from vintage.' (12 x 75 cl)

This boutique vineyard owned by the Cook family is named after the prominent Gibbston Valley landmark in Central Otago. One of the original pinot producers the Nevis Bluff vineyard benefits from semi-continental climate and as a result of the daily and seasonal temperature extremes produce grapes with concentrated fruit flavours. This Pinot Noir has benefited from hand harvesting in the vineyard while in the winery great care has been taken to produce a deep red coloured wine displaying stunning black cherry, blackcurrant and thyme aromatics. A rich, strongly textured wine, with a long lingering finish. (12 x 75 cl)
