Black Estate Wild Life Winery Block Pinot Noir 2020, North Canterbury
Fruit for this wine is sourced from the Netherwood Vineyard. Great colour and concentration with hues of purple and dark ruby. Hand harvested, fermented and aged in a clay vessel using vineyard yeasts. Aromas of raspberry and black currant, some dark cherry and lots of red apple skin. There’s a savoury dried herb spice layer and a crumbled stone mineral layer. Complex and enticing. On the palate - there’s a natural freshness with a tickle of spritz accentuated by acidity and fine fruit tannins. Fruit flavours dominate the taste with black currant and dark berries. Lots of texture and chalky mouthfeel highlights, balanced, youthful, lengthy and well made. A true natural style. Best drinking from 2022 through 2026+.
