Two Rivers Tributary Marlborough Pinot Noir 2021 750ml

"Immediately complex with deep-seated aromas of silty stony mineral, dark fruit and a baking spice tease. Harmonious and detailed, alluring and layered. The tense and firm texture on the palate with youthful energy contrasted by a core of ripe dark cherry and plum, mealy chalky tannin textures, toasty barrel spices with cedar and clove then vanilla and smoke. A youthful acid line and dark rose flourish a savoury layer and return to the core of varietal dark berry flavours on the finish complete this wine. Still young and will benefit from continued cellaring with the best drinking from late 2022 through 2028+. Well suite to food so drinkable immediately with traditional high protein dishes or vegan fare" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2021

Grapes were hand-harvested from high density planted Brookby Road vineyards in the Southern Valleys of Marlborough.

The grapes underwent wild fermentation, with 40% whole-bunch for an increased lift in aromatics and structure. The resulting wine was aged in 4,500L French oak cuves for 11 months. In pursuit of the highest quality, we have not fined or filtered this wine. A small amount of sulphur was added just prior to bottling.

Alc: 13%
