Description
Viticulture
100% of the fruit from our certified organic vineyard, Hua Nui.
Vinification
The fruit is handpicked followed by a period of cold soak, wild fermentation and gentle pumpovers and plunging. The wine is pressed to French oak barrels for 10 months during which time it undergoes malolactic fermentation. Whole bunch portion is 49%.
Wine aging
At its best from 2023 through to 2033 if stored in cool, dark conditions.
Tasting notes
Opulent and weighty on the palate, it has such a lightness of touch and vividness of detail, the finish teasing out a sense of fun and playfulness that just leaves a smile on your face. Long and layered, revealing more stylish nuance with each sip, Hua Nui 2021 is as abundant as its name ("Fruits of Abundance") suggests.

“A concentrated and silky Pinot Noir made with minimal
intervention to ensure it is a true representation of site,
soul and season. The wine was lightly fined and bottled unfiltered in March 2022.”
