Auntsfield Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018
- Textured, savoury
- Marlborough
Auntsfield were Marlborough’s first vineyard and winery, established back in 1873. Their single vineyard wines are all grown at the estate with meticulous care, hand picked, hand sorted, carefully done to gently extract those delightful flavours and tannins so associated with pinot noir. What flavours you ask? All the ripe berries, black cherries and plums and a touch of dark chocolate and cigar, a true expression of what Marlborough terroir can offer for pinot noir.

“This is splendidly fruited and inviting on the nose showing sweet cherry, plum, floral, cedar and subtle spice aromas, followed by a concentrated palate that is focused and delightfully flowing. The wine offers terrific fruit purity and intensity, wonderfully complemented by silky texture and polished tannins, making the wine seamless and persistent.”

Marlborough
Marlborough is the famous region that has rocketed NZ into the world wine scene. For good or for bad, the wine that hails from here is distinctive, exploding with aromatics and quality and balance are only improving. Located at the top of the South Island, there is no doubt that Marlborough is the epicentre of the New Zealand wine industry - a region synonymous with some of the world's best Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The distinctive conditions of Marlborough - warm, sunny days and cold nights allow winemakers to unleash the unique expressions of grape, not seen anywhere else in the world.
