Winemaker Notes
The deep garnet red color reflects the depth of fragrance.Ripe, dark red berry and stone fruit aromas abound and arehighlighted with complex, spicy oak highlights and savorynuances. The palate is deceptively mellow and continues thefruit themes while adding chocolate and mocha smoothnessto the melange of fleshy stone fruit flavors. Savorycomplexity and spice add breadth to the mid palate whilesmooth velvety tannins provide a seamless balance with therich fruit concentration.

Patrick Materman focuses on Brancott Estate vineyards for this wine, looking mostly to the hills of the southern Wairau Valley for fruit. It's bright and spicy, a fat pinot with tannins that carry the scent of dried roses and way clay. Pour it with braised duck.
