Te Kano Wines 2018 Pinot Noir (6 Bottles) Central Otago, NZ
$377.00
SHIPPING INCLUDED ONLY IN NEW SOUTH WALES. WINE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO BE DELIVERED OUTSIDE NSW.
A supple and complex Pinot Noir with aromas of mocha and bright berry fruits. Generous ripe plum, red berry and cherry flavours, combined with dark savoury notes of dried herb and spice, create a wine that is both expressive and elegant.
Vintage
Spring and Summer were extremely hot and dry. A late season period of cool weather slowed ripening, allowing additional time for flavour development in the weeks before harvest.
Vineyards
Fruit from the Jerome and Eliza vineyards have both contributed to this wine, each lending their unique character to the final blend. Jerome’s dark brooding tannins provide mid palate structure, while the supple plush characters typical of Eliza bring elegance and depth.
Varietal
100% Pinot Noir, clones Abel, 115, 777, 667, 943, 6.
Winemaking
Hand picked Pinot Noir grapes were destemmed in spearate batches, with a 15% wholebunch component used to add complexity and structure. Fermentation with indigenous yeast was following by 12 months of maturation in new and older French oak barriques.
Description
Like all who come here, the Lloyd Family fell in love with the other- worldly beauty of Central Otago – the land and the lifestyle. The seed of a new future was sown; three vineyards, each planted with site specific varietals — including Central Otago’s signature Pinot Noir — allow our talented winemakers the luxury to select and blend only the most outstanding fruit each season.
Committed to rejuvenating the land and a sustainable future throughre-planting and excellent stewardship, the Te Kano is creating enduring sensory wine and lifestyle experiences which could come from nowhere else but Central Otago. Te Kano (Māori for seed), is for those who appreciate the rarest combination of layered elegance and sublime natural quality.
