Grown at our Papillon vineyard. The grapes were all hand harvested then 85% destemmed (15% left as whole bunch) before being cold soaked for 7 days to ensure maximum flavour and colour extraction.

Fermentation was in small open top vessels, hand plunged three times a day. Post ferment maceration was for 7 days and free run wine was then transferred to French barrels (25% new) for ageing before a 100% malolactic fermentation in the Spring.

Tasting Notes - The 2021 Sugar Loaf Pinor Noir is sourced entirely from our hillside vineyard on Marlborough's Southern Valleys, it has lifted aromas of red plum, cocoa and liquorice. The palate is elegant and lingering with summer berries, ripe plum, savoury black pepper and notes of toasty oak with delicate supply tannins.
