Te Mata Estate
Estate Vineyards Pinot Noir 2024 750ml

At its core, the Estate Pinot Noir ’24 displays a red cherry hue with a garnet edge. The wine captivates with its vibrant colour and rich aromas of redcurrant, black cherry, prune, and cinnamon. The palate is soft, generous, and energetic, featuring ripe fine tannins with hints of raspberry, liquorice, and spice. Rounded and supple, it pairs beautifully with duck pancakes or beef carpaccio. Estate Pinot Noir 2024 is both endlessly refreshing and wildly sumptuous in the glass. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

WINEMAKING

The individual lots were each destemmed, cold soaked followed by a traditional plunged fermentation. The resulting wines underwent extended maceration on skins before pressing. The separate wines were then run to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barriques for 11 months’ maturation.
