Winemakers notes
This wine displays hallmark Pinot characteristics, floral and berry compote. Pressed straight to French barrel after a 5-day cold soak. An authoritative tannin structure, finely integrated oak and grounding acidity. Featuring a 100% wild ferment, the structured finish is long and abundant in spice.

“There is a beautiful silver lining to the storms we go through, especially when we weather them together. The world breaks us all - at some point, in some way. Some of us become stronger where we were once wounded. Maybe that is the point.” Brianna Weist
2019 Vintage details
2019 is regarded as one of the driest lowest yielding vintages Marlborough has seen. The growing season started off well, with a relatively wet spring providing good growth but pretty poor flowering which has meant the berries and bunches of the Pinot were smaller than average. The Pinot's delivered intense colour and flavour is a reflection of a very dry season.
2019 Reviews
Tasted over five days this wine has an impressive consistency, purity and ageing potential. From day one through five the core of fruit remained the focus with aromas and flavours of dark red berries, layers of dark cherry and plum, some raspberry and rose flavours. Layers of wood spice and fine tannins with medium+ acidity hold the all the attributes together leading to a balanced, lengthy and even finish. Well made, a wine for today and the cellar. Best drinking from 2021 through 2030.
Cameron Douglas MS : 94 Points. Excellent
This is complex and engaging, showing spiced cherry, clove, thyme and smoked game characters on the nose. It's concentrated and persistent on the palate, delivering silky texture and fine grainy tannins, finishing firm and wonderfully long. At its best: Now to 2025. 94 pts. 5 stars.
