Villa Maria CELLAR SELECTION Pinot Noir Marlborough New Zealand
Description: A bouquet bursting of red and dark cherries, spicy plum and cinnamon notes. A fruit driven, full-bodied styled Pinot Noir, well balanced with rounded grainy tannins this wine is concentrated rich and generous. It has the lovely perfume coupled with richness and depth which makes Pinot so alluring. The Cellar Selection range of wines is a blend vineyards scattered throughout the Awatere and Wairau Valleys of Marlborough. These vineyards are meticulously managed by Villa Maria to ensure that the most intensely flavoured and healthiest fruit was obtained. In this wine a large array of Pinot Noir clones have been grown to provide a complex selection of blending options that in turn has produced fruit of intense colour, flavour and tannin ripeness. The grapes were individually hand harvested, destemmed and cold soaked for an aided extraction period of up to ten days. Specific parcels of wine were allowed to ferment naturally while others were inoculated with selected yeast strains. To intensify the flavour, colour and mouthfeel the fermentation temperatures were encouraged to reach 32oC. Post pressing over winter the wines rested in 40% new French oak barriques until spring when malolactic fermentation occurred. The wines rested in oak until February when they were blended. To preserve the intense fruit flavours and fine tannin structure, minimal handling, fining and filtration techniques were employed throughout the maturation and blending processes. (6 x 75 cl)

Mud House VINEYARD SELECTION Pinot Noir Marlborough New Zealand
Description: John Joslin was a farmer in Essex and also had a business in Belgium. Together, with his wife Jennifer, they decided to sell up and cruise the world in their custom built yacht 'Dancing Wave'. They did this for six years before dropping anchor in New Zealand. After one visit to Marlborough the yacht was sold and 20 acres in the heart of the wine growing region was bought. Marlborough was chosen for its international reputation as a premium wine-growing region with one of the longest ripening periods in the world. The vineyard was named 'Le Grys' which was Jennifer's maiden name and planted varieties include Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Finally. a unique Mud block house was built in the vineyard and hence the name of the company was born and in 1996 the first vintage was released. This Pinot Noir from vineyards in Marlborough enjoy a long ripening period and offers lifted aromas of cherries, currants and plums with attractive integrated savoury mushrooms and toasty oak. Using a mixture of new and old French oak, results in a soft full palate with cherry notes, red current and plum. (12 x 75 cl)

Grove Mill Pinot Noir Marlborough NZ
Description: Our aim is to build in complexity to complement our natural exuberant fruit. Techniques such as pre and post maceration are combined with partial barrel fermentation to achieve this in the winery. The wine is filtered but not stabilised and was bottled at pH3.4, T.A. 6.6g/l and 13% alcohol. The philosophy behind Grove Mill wines is that they are made to be the best they can be. Deliberate fruit orientation with a full bodied richness and concentration to the point of balance defined the style. Determining vineyards, selecting their fruit at harvest and keeping only the wines with the best structure, flavours and fragrances ensures the Grove Mill philosophy is exercised. Pinot Noir has become the dominant red grape variety in Marlborough, new Zealand's largest grape growing region. The Pinot Noir we grow here has abundant flavour, texture and colour. The challenge for winemakers is to select the best clones, viticulture and winemaking practices to suit our fruit. www.webnz.com/grovemill (12 x 75 cl)
