Whitehaven pride themselves on the peerless quality of fruit, they take nothing but the pick of crop and work with Marlborough's most distinguished growers. A superior harvest of Pinot Noir is sourced from Michelle and Andy Peter's vineyard in Awatere Valley. Grapes are destemmed into small open top vats and plunged several times daily over the course of a week, racked to a high proportion of new French oak for malolactic and fifteen month's maturation. A full bodied style of exquisite balance and ample fruit, woo your Whitehaven with game and gourmandise.
TASTING NOTES
Deep ruby, brick red hues. Complex nose, array of cedar, bottled plum and cherry notes, the savouryness of oak spice and earth characters of freshly picked beetroot. Full bodied Pinot Noir, supported by a chamois of soft, ripe tannins, velvety textures, an opulence of fruit and persistence of flavours on the lengthy, supple, lasting finish.
