Note di degustazione
From Cleland vineyard with 26-year-old vines on the deep alluvial gravels of the Martinborough Terraces and a mix of clones UCD 5, 6, and 13. Hand harvested, fermented with ambient yeast. Total maceration time 21 days with hand-plunging in open-top wooden fermenters. Aged in French oak for 18 months, 40% new. TA 4.8 g/l, pH 3.62. Some initial oak sweetness on the palate and more immediate fruit depth on the palate than in the Pahi 2013, richer and more rounded but still with the dry finesse to the texture. Long savoury finish is classic Martinborough even after the initial fruit. (JH)

Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2013 Kiwa Pinot Noir has a nose of mulberries, red plums and red currants with suggestions of cinnamon stick and wild thyme. Medium-bodied, it offers layers of earth and dried herb flavors complimenting the red berry character and framed by chewy tannins, finishing long.
