Summerhouse Central Otago Pinot Noir 2021

Alive with aromas of dark cherry, vanilla bean and bursting with delicious ripe cherry and spice flavours, our Central Otago Pinot Noir is rich and velvet-soft.

Vintage: Central Otago is New Zealand's southernmost wine region, home to big mountains, pristine lakes, and dramatic skies. The glacial-based soils in this region produce wines with fragrant, lush fruit balanced by delicate acidity. A cooler growing season in 2021 resulted in small berries with great concentration, flavour and tannin structure.

Winemaking: After harvest, the fruit was cold soaked for five days and fermented in small batches in open-top fermenters. Each ferment was plunged three times a day to extract colour and tannins from the skins. The wine was left to macerate for five days before pressing. The wine was aged in French oak barriques for 10 months, including 20% new oak.

91 Points, Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 2019 "Bright and youthfully attractive, the wine shows raspberry, dark cherry, violet, dried herb and almond characters on the nose. It's equally charming on the palate, displaying ripe fruit intensity together with fine texture and silky tannins, offering lovely drinking. At its best: now to 2023."
