Vinification of Pinot Noir by The Marlborist The grapes for this select Pinot Noir grow in the sun-drenched vineyards of Marlborough, known for their cool sea breezes and perfect soils. The temperate cool climate allows a slow and uniform ripening that preserves essential fruit nuances and promotes elegant acidity structures. 1. Grape Selection: Hand harvesting is carried out with utmost care to use only fully ripe grapes. Each grape is carefully inspected before processing to ensure excellent quality. 2. Destemming and Cooling: After harvest, the grapes are gently destemmed and softly cooled to maintain the fruity freshness and delicate spicy bouquet. 3. Fermentation: The must fermentation takes place under temperature-controlled conditions in stainless steel tanks. Here, the primary fruit aromas unfold, finding perfect balance with the fine-pored tannins of the skins during the maceration. 4. Maturation: Subsequently, the wine ages for up to 12 months in French oak barriques, of which about 30% are new. This gives the wine additional complexity, a silky structure, and subtle vanilla notes. The wood aging adds flavor depth without overpowering the delicate character of the Pinot Noir. 5. Bottling: After maturation, the wine is gently filtered and bottled to preserve the fruity freshness and aromatic complexity fully.
