Greywacke Pinot Noir 2022

Greywacke Pinot Noir 2022
Marlborough, New Zealand

An elegant and expressive example of Marlborough Pinot Noir, the Greywacke Pinot Noir 2022 showcases the skillful touch of one of New Zealand’s most respected winemakers. Rich in character yet finely balanced, this wine blends power with poise, delivering complexity, silky texture, and a true sense of place.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Deep ruby with crimson edges.

• Aroma: An enticing bouquet of ripe cherry, black doris plum, and dark raspberry, layered with notes of clove, dried herbs, and subtle smoky oak.

• Palate: Lush and concentrated with a supple, velvety mouthfeel. Flavours of spiced red berries, wild thyme, and savoury earth are wrapped in fine tannins and carried by vibrant acidity. The finish is long, seamless, and quietly powerful.

Winemaking:
Crafted from low-yielding vineyards, the fruit was hand-picked, cold-soaked, and fermented with wild yeast in open-top fermenters. Maturation in French oak barriques (including a portion of new oak) for 16 months adds structure and complexity, while maintaining purity of fruit.

Food Pairing:
Pair with duck confit, roasted venison, wild mushroom risotto, or chargrilled lamb. Its supple tannins and depth of flavor make it a versatile companion to both delicate and richer dishes.
