Grapes were hand picked then whole bunch pressed and juice settled for 4 hours. They were barrique fermented in French Oak barriques (27% new) and aged for 10 months before blending. A full malolactic fermentation occurred in spring, followed by lees stirring in winter every 2 weeks to stop post malolactic fermentation.
Ripe peach and grapefruit aromatics on nose. Underneath hints of butter scotch and toasty oak. Creamy malolactic notes on palate, with tropical fruits sitting nicely on top. Rich and full bodied, whilst showing nice balance and elegance.
Cherry Block will take you on a journey to a special part of New Zealand, the southernmost wine region in the world, Central Otago. The extreme continental climate of Central Otago is one of fiercely cold nights and long summer days. It is these intense conditions combined with the lush surrounding cherry orchards that serve to create the vivid, rich and spicy nature of Cherry Block Pinot Noir.
White nectarine, stone fruit and a citrus nuance, balanced acidity and subtle French oak.
Food Pairing: Lightly cooked shellfish like crab and prawns, steamed or grilled fish, chicken pasta or risotto with spring vegetables.
Silent Noise Chardonnay is a fresh modern Australian style, citrus driven and complemented by the subtle use of oak. While 50% of the wine was fermented in new French oak., the oak component is unobtrusive yet critical to the overall aroma and texture.
Pears on the nose nearly overriding the subtle incantations of citrus blossoms and delicate bath salts. On the palate endless layers of sun warmed pears and enchanting whispers of cinnamon and cardamom with a creamy mouthfeel and a fresh slightly citrus finish.
A ripe, fleshy style with full-bodied layers of crushed plum and framed by fruitcake and a lingering expresso note.
