The grapes were hand picked from 20 year old Pinot Noir vines. Very gently whole bunch pressed to minimize skin contact and colour extraction. The juice was cool fermented to preserve primary fruit characters.

Vinoteka's note
New Zealand's first Blanc de Noir from certified organic grapes: 20-year-old Pinot Noir, whole-bunch pressed very gently to keep only a faint pink-diamond tint. Citrus blossom, green pear and biscuit on the nose; full, fruity baked apple, pear and nectarine with an exotic spicy finish. Lightly off-dry. Serve well chilled as an aperitif or with lighter meats, Asian dishes and pasta.
