The 2016 vintage has given his a moderately coloured wine with a bright core and red/purple rim. Both red and black fruits intermingled with subtle oak and nuances of grilled meat.A rich and firm style with bold, sweet fruit and supple tannins. A core of sweet black cherry fruit lingers on the palate.
The 2016 Marlborough Pinot Noir is based from a single parcel of fruit from Ballochdale Estate which is situated on the southern side of the Awatere Valley. The vineyard sits at over 300m above sea level, thus making it one of the highest vineyards in Marlborough. It is a spectacular site and in 2016 produced fruit of exceptional quality. After fermentation and MLF in tank the wine was racked to French oak for eight months. Only a small amount of new oaks used, the oak effect in this wine is very subtle.

Highly Rated Wine Orbit
It is sweetly fragrant on the nose showing dark cherry, raspberry, vanilla, olive and roasted nut aromas, leading to a succulent palate that is smooth and supple. The wine offers attractive fruit intensity and elegant weight, well supported by fine tannins. It is beautifully expressed and immediately appealing.
Highly Rated Bob Campbell
Gently aromatic pinot noir with rose petal, cherry, fresh herb and crushed strawberry flavours. A light, soft and supple red in an easy-drinking style. Offers value at this price (21.99)
Offering good value, this fragrant, full bodied wine is drinking well now. Bright ruby, it is sweet-fruited and savoury, with strong, ripe cherry, plum and spice flavours, showing considerable complexity
