Vinterra Pinot Noir
Sherwood Estate ( Vinterra )
New Zealand - Marlborough

The Vinterra Pinot Noir displays vibrant aromas of cherry and raspberry fruit intertwined with fresh herb and mineral notes. Medium-bodied, fresh and crisp on the palate with rich fruit flavors of cherries and raspberries. Fine tannins, a silky texture and a lingering finish of raspberries.

Vinification
The fruit underwent a 3 day cool soak period in open top fermenters before yeast was added to initiate ferment. The cap was hand plunged daily. After 21 days on skins the wine was gently
pressed before malolactic fermentation and four months oak maturation. The wine was then
blended prior to filtering and bottling.
Pairings

An excellent match for most meat dishes but also great with salmon and poultry.

2017 Vinterra Pinot Noir - 87 PTS - WE

wine enthusiast 87 pts"This wine, from the Waipara Valley, north of Christchurch, starts with quiet aromas of raspberries, florals and peppery spice. The palate is tightly wound, with grainy tannins and tangy, if slightly sour, fruit. A bitterness creeps in at the finish but overall this is a solid if not terribly exciting cool-climate Pinot. - Christina PICKARD"

wine enthusiast 89 pts"This is gentle, supple Pinot Noir that's ready to drink. Subtle cola, herb and red-fruit shadings are varietally correct, picking up hints of cinnamon and then finishing tart and mouthwatering. - Joe Czerwinski"
