Info Lebensmittelkennzeichnung

Beschreibung Weinpass Flying High. Exclusiv aus dem Eyrie Vineyard. Ganze Trauben, viel Handarbeit und Geduld. Und 11 Monate in ausgesuchten kleinen französischen Eichenbarriques. Strahlendes Dunkelburgunderrot und elegant-aromatisches Bouquet: Pflaumenkuchen, dunkle Waldbeeren, etwas Würze und dahinter ein Hauch von Veilchen. Auch am Gaumen reife Beeren, schwarze Kirsche, reife Himbeere, dezent Lakritze und feine lange Tannine ― satt fruchtig, voll und weich, dabei sehr gute Struktur durch das unaufdringliche aber seriöse Barrique. Damit kann man Spaß haben, gleich jetzt oder über die nächsten 5 Jahre. Kein Burgund-Nachbauversuch, kein Fruchtmonster, sowieso schon sehr harmonisch und rund, genießen wir hier einen echten Neuseeländer. Nicht umsonst schon lange kein Geheimtipp mehr. Mit dem Sauvignon und dem Chardonnay zusammen eine ganz starke Leistung von Chloe Gabrielsen und Team und noch sehr bezahlbar. Hoffentlich bleibt das noch eine Weile so.

Winemaker's Comment

Vineyard(s): Sourced exclusively from our mature Eyrie Vineyard in Marlborough’s lower Waihopai Valley Eyrie Vineyard: Eyrie Vineyard hosts vines almost two decades old. Situated in the picturesque Waihopai Valley on the southern side of the Wairau Plain, a high clay content in its soil profile is well suited to bringing out the best in the Pinot genus. This 11ha (27.5 acre) block is the single block source of our finest expressions of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. VINEYARD SPEC: Varieties: Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir Area: 11.1 ha. (27.4 ac.) Soil: Well draining clay over gravel First Planted: 2002 Barrique: Fermented in small, open top vats with a high frequency of hand plunging and whole bunch to allow for a fuller profile wine. Matured in select French oak barriques for 11 months Winemakers comments: An elegant and aromatic Pinot Noir, delivering intense notes of blackberry, plum and cherry fruit with delicate and lifted floral aromas. Beautifully structured, with fine grained tannins, the flavours are echoed on the smooth, supple palate, flowing through to hints of coffee on the lingering finish. Excellent vintage! Winemaking: Sourced exclusively from the Reed Vineyard from 100%, handpicked fruit for controlled whole-bunch pressing. Fermented for a full 11 months in a selection of new and seasoned French oak barriques from 100% activated wild yeast. Undergoing malolactic conversion for a creamier texture. Appearance: Bright burgundy Bouquet: Elegant and aromatic with dark forest fruits on the nose Palate: Ripe black cherry, sweet raspberry and liquorice with a slightly dried hay finish and fine grained oak tannins Cellaring: Enjoy now and over the next 5 years Best served 14-18ºC SWNZ Certified, 2016 New Zealand Sustainable Winegrowing Vintage notes: Some good rains in January and February resulted in healthy vibrant canopies and helped maintain irrigation acquirers. This was followed by a very warm autumn which ripened the fruit earlier than average. Excellent vintage.
