Tasting Notes:

Perfume, elegant fruit flavours, and soft ripe tannins are all hallmarks of this exceptional Pinot Noir. A typical Martinborough summer has created the distinctive Escarpment style showing complexity, attractive texture, and the perfect mix of black, red, and green fruit flavours for which Pinot Noir is celebrated.

Technical:

Escarpment Pinot Noir is inspired by the classic wines of Burgundy. This wine is a tribute to Martinborough’s unique terroir. Our winemaking philosophy is to make wines that exhibit their place, a goal we set ourselves especially for Pinot Noir when the vines were planted 21 years ago. 100% Martinborough fruit with the majority coming from our Te Muna Road Vineyard. This wine is typically a blend of Dijon clones 667 and 777 and Abel, with clones 114 and 115 occasionally. It exhibits fruit, complexity, and texture, beautifully.

The fruit was hand-harvested, then gently handled without pumping until it was pressed. Hand plunged every 12 hours then left to macerate on skins for an average vat time of 18 days. It has been aged completely in French oak barriques, of which 25% were new, for 11 months. Inspired by the classic wines of Burgundy, this Pinot Noir is a tribute to Martinborough unique terroir. It will cellar gracefully for up to 10 years.

Accolades & Awards:

91 Point Rated - Bob Campbell The Real Review

"A step up in concentration from the entry level Noir but with similar tobacco, cherry, toast, dried herb, floral and spice flavours. Subtle fruit sweetness is balanced by suede-like tannins."

Joe Czerwinski Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Escarpment's 2018 Pinot Noir is firmly in the house style of solid, age-worthy wines. There's a whack of mocha-scented oak, a dose of stemmy tannins and flavors of earth and black cherries. This medium-bodied effort does take some time to open up, so if you're drinking it over the next year or two, be sure to give it a splash in a decanter prior to serving."
