100% organically grown Pinot Noir from high-density estate vineyards, situated on 3 different soil types, located in the Wairua Valley area of Marlborough.
Fruit was hand-picked in the cool of early morning to retain fruit integrity. Fermented in stainless steel open tops and then aged in large French oak vats for 11 months. Ageing in large oak vats instead of smaller barrels gives the wine great balance with subtle oak, which enriches structure while retaining aromatic intensity.
Winemaker's Comments
Petit Clos translated from French means ‘small enclosed vineyard'. This wine has aromas of red berries dominated by cherry and plum notes. There is a juicy red berries mouthfeel on the palate, supported by fine and supple tannins, while retaining freshness all the way to a long finish.
