Single Vineyard The Attorney Organic Pinot Noir 2017

Each wine within the Single Vineyard range displays its own distinct characteristics from the unique terrior of the vineyard site where the fruit is sourced.

The Attorney Vineyard was converted and fully Biogro certified as organic in 2012. The Pinot Noir fruit sourced from this vineyard has thick skins and small berries contributing to the dark colour and bold tannin structure. This broody, dense Pinot Noir has heady aromas of coffee beans, dried herbs, and freshly picked red cherries. On the palate, the smooth rounded cocoa tannins are balanced by the juicy youthful acidity and hints of toasty oak.

Colder weather in spring led to a longer than usual flowering season, resulting in a looser bunch structure and smaller bunches. Summer temperatures were unusually mild for Marlborough, regulated by cooler easterly breezes and light cloud cover. Intermittent autumn rains slowed ripening which meant our
harvest plans had to be flexible whilst we waited for dry weather periods and classic Marlborough Pinot Noir flavours to develop.
