Hãhã Marlborough Pinot Noir 2024 x 12
Product Description
Marlborough experienced an exceptional growing
season in 2024. Lower than normal yields were the
result of early spring frosts, cooler temperatures during
flowering and prolonged dry conditions, however the
Summer weather was hot and dry and the grapes were
outstanding in quality when harvest time came around
in March. The resulting wine is showing the powerful
flavours and vibrant acidity that Marlborough wines are
world-renowned for.
KEY VINEYARDS
Our Pinot Noir comes from vineyards planted in the
Wairau and Awatere Valley’s in Marlborough, where
the climate and free draining alluvial soils are perfect
for Pinot Noir.
After harvest, the grapes were cold soaked to help bring
out the vibrant colour and flavours. We then added
yeast to start fermentation. Once fermentation was
complete, the wine was gently pressed and aged for 10
months in a mix of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels.
After that, it was filtered and bottled, ready to share.
A richly expressive Pinot Noir showcasing layers of ripe
dark berries, luscious black cherry, and subtle earthy
undertones. The palate is bold and generously textured,
offering vibrant fruit purity interwoven with delicate
spice nuances, culminating in a long, velvety finish.
The vibrant fruit notes of this Pinot Noir pair beautifully
with Thai beef salad, loaded with juicy cherry tomatoes,
crisp greens, fresh herbs, and a tangy lime and garlic
dressing.

'This is a lavishly textured pinot of considerable power.'
94 Points
The 24 vintage in Marlborough resulted in some high-quality fruit, albeit with lower yields, meaning the concentration and flavour were impressive. The pinot comes from vineyards in the Wairau and Awatere valleys in Marlborough. The colour is quite brilliant with crimson hues. This is a lavishly textured pinot of considerable power. The aromas of dark cherry and a little raspberry with some subtle truffly earthy undertones are engaging immediately. The chalky fine tannins, that little bit of natural acidity and some almost understated oak weave perfectly together to carry the wine through to an impressively long finish. It's smooth and quite sumptuous. An impressive wine.

It's sweetly fruited and fragrant on the nose, showing Black Doris plum, rich floral, clove, and nutmeg aromas. The palate displays juicy fruit intensity with a plump mouthfeel and silky texture, backed by layers of fine-grained tannins, finishing long and supple.

'Great colour and brightness...'
92 Points
Great colour and brightness with a ruby purple core and pink rim. Aromas and flavours of fresh red plums and cherry, lots of strawberry compote and red gummy fruit candy. Dry, salivating and fresh on the palate with flavours of plums and red berries to reflect the bouquet. An abundance of fine tannins with a chalky powdered texture, decent acid line and length.
