Rapaura Springs 'Southbrook Vineyard' Pinot Noir 2022, Marlborough
Fruit for this wine comes from the Southern Valleys delivering a bouquet and palate filled with flavours of ripe and juicy red cherry and strawberry flesh, there’s a firm youthful palate squeeze from acidity and tannins and a finely textured mouthfeel overall. The use of French oak adds complexity and mouthfeel with some chalkiness to the tannins and is easily contrasted by the fruit mid-palate. A well made wine that also delivers a sense of place with a layer of stony clay soil flavours. A wine that could do with some cellar time with best drinking from late 2024 through 2029.
