Pinot Noir "Te Muna Road"
The unique terroir of ancient stony soils allow the premier Pinot Noirs from Craggy Range to ripen gradually while still retaining perfect acid balance. This is evident in this lovely wine, the grapes for which are sourced from the higher terraces on the Te Muna Road Estate, which are planted with eight unique clones of Pinot. From this eclectic bunch the grapes are hand-picked and fermented naturally before spending eight months in French oak. It isn't made in a blockbuster style, but one that favours elegance. The aromas and flavours are ripe, oozing with hints of plum, black cherry, fresh herbs and licorice, but what makes the wine special are its subtle spice shadings and silky texture. Pairs perfectly with lamb.
