Description: This is the first release of this hand-crafted wine which will be made only in the finest vintages, it is sourced from Montana's finest Marlborough vineyards, Booker Block Terraces and Fairhall Estate. This flagship Pinot Noir shows complexity and concentration of flavours with sweet fruit and silky tannins. The growing season started with fine, settled weather over the flowering and fruit set period. The summer was wetter than normal, but this was followed by an ideal, long, dry autumn. Cool nights over the autumn period promoted excellent varietal intensity, ripe flavours and balanced acidity levels. This wine uses only French barriques, all were fine grained and three year seasoned oak, sourced from a number of coopers of which 40% of the oak was new, the balance one and two-years old. For the first two months the barrels were lees stirred, which helped to develop the wine's structure. The wine then remained in oak for 12 months, prior to the components being racked out and blended. This Pinot Noir is a deep garnet red colour with aromas of dark berry fruit, savoury spice and hints of chocolate and coffee. The palate shows rich, dark plum and berry fruit coupled with integrated, complex savoury oak. There is great concentration of flavour, with silky tannins giving a velvety mouth feel.

Montana PATUTAHI ESTATE Gewurztraminer Gisborne
Description: The 260 acres of Patutahi Estate overlook the Poverty Bay plains, bound by hills which offer excellent protection from the winds, especially in spring and is far enough inland to be unaffected by the cooling sea breezes. The soils, exclusive to the area, are classified as Waihirere heavy silt loam. These are deep and fertile, and when combined with the vineyard's elevated aspect, make it exceptionally well drained. Typically in summer the soils dry and crack, imparting a degree of vine stress which assists in concentrating the fruit flavours. Excellent weather during the 2002 vintage resulted in maximum ripening of the Gewürztraminer grapes and intensely aromatic fruit with outstanding flavours. The majority of the fruit was hand harvested and whole bunch pressed to add elegance and finesse. The balance was skin contacted for four hours to increase complexity of flavour and aroma. The fruit was harvested on six days between the 7th March and 28th March from low cropping blocks within the Patutahi region. The flavour development of the grapes is monitored closely to find the point where natural grape dehydration creates intense aromatics and fruit concentration. Following gentle fruit handling and a long slow pressing. Separate portions of free run juice were cool fermented to preserve the aromatic varietal characters. The fermentation's were stopped to provide a natural balance between alcohol, sweetness, acidity and fruit flavour The wine was then fined, blended, filtered and bottled. Rich and golden in colour this wine has a distinctive rose petal, citrus blossom, lychee and spice aromas of ripe Gewürztraminer fruit. The concentrated palate of ripe fruit flavours are rich and spicy, is balanced with natural grape sweetness and acid. Well structured and refreshing with great length, the wine finishes with an attractive rose oil sweetness. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £77.11
