Note di degustazione
Fruit was 100% destemmed and fermented in open-top concrete tanks. Spends a year in 1- to 5-year-old puncheons and barrels, then another year in large wooden tanks. Light garnet. Aromas of raspberries and sour cherries meld with flowers and a hint of meatiness. Wonderfully supple, gauzy tannins wend their way around a flowing stream of raspberry, sour cherry and candied redcurrant, as fresh wildflowers and aromatic herbs waft on the breeze. Gorgeous texture, fantastic acidity and great length, with an aromatic sweetness that can’t help but make you smile. Incredibly sensual and alluring, and rather shockingly delicious. (AY)

The 2022 Angel Flower Pinot Noir is very light in the glass and leads with cherry kirsch, strawberry, chamomile tea and crushed rocks. The palate reveals this is the kind of wine that hides much and reveals slowly: the middle to back palate is where most of the flavor and texture reside. Despite this being very pale in color, the wine has intensity, drive and focus. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Botanicals collection. Waikari vineyard. Cask sample. Complex spicy nose. Real freshness and sap. But with sweetness too. Not remotely heavy and very distinctive in a New Zealand context. Lightly peppery finish. Sprightly. (JR)
The 2022 Pinot Noir Angel Flower makes its return after 2021 failed to deliver a crop - spring frosts and cool flowering dashed hopes early in the season. But this comeback vintage has delivered a very complete style. It's calm, collected and equivalent to a ball of silk for the mouth. Slightly riper in fruit weight compared with its sister wine, Earth Smoke, its tannins are fine and rounded, contributing to that mellow approachability even upon release. The 2022 is pure and broody, with dried herbs and subtle cedar notes lingering on the finish.
