MARLBOROUGH
 Private  Bin Pinot Noir 2022
 Wine makers Comments:
 This wine expresses aromas of ripe cherry and raspberry, intermingled with 
subtle spiced notes of cinnamon and cloves. On the palate, flavours of 
cranberry and juicy pomegranate with hints of freshly roasted coffee beans follows to a finish of soft cocoa like-tannins.
 Serving Suggestions:
 Pinot Noir is incredibly versatile and will go well with roast chicken, duck confit, 
smoked salmon, or simply with mature cheddar cheese.
 Vintage and Viniculture:
The 2022 growing season started off well with very little frost pressure during 
spring. Flowering went without a hitch due to healthy soil moisture levels and 
settled weather, leading to balanced crop levels and lush canopies. The start of 
summer was slightly cooler; February temperatures were below the long-term 
average with intermittent rain fall. The weather eventually settled allowing for 
optimal ripening conditions.
 Wine making:
 The Private Bin Pinot Noir is a blend from specially chosen vineyards 
throughout Marlborough's Awatere and Wairau Valleys. The varying soil types 
and meso-climates offer a complex array of flavours, aromas and textures to 
the wine.
