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)
