Madam Sass Central Otago Pinot Noir 750ml

Gold Medal - NWWA 20

Bendigo is renowned for vibrant dark fruit flavours and finely tuned acidity. Formed from glaciers grinding schist rocks to smaller gravels and finer particles, the soil is rich in minerals, free draining and perfect for growing exceptional Pinot Noir. Literally named after a miners
original gold claim, the Claim 431 Vineyard in Bendigo sits firmly at the heart of New Zealands illustrious gold rush history.

The grapes were gently harvested keeping the berries intact, cold soaked for a week and fermented with a combination of wild and cultured yeasts. Batches were hand-plunged to extract vibrant colour, structure and flavour. A combination of new and used French
oakbarrels stored the wine, adding texture and longevity. After 8 months the batches were blended then rested until bottling in July 2017.

Tasting Notes:

This enticing Pinot Noir is full of attitude, style and extravagance. Aromas of decadent spice and sweet cherry are delivered with a fleshy, fruit driven, seamless finish. Seriously Sassy.

Alc: 13.5%
