In the field The information on Pinot Noir 777 in the ENTAVINRA® catalogue describes the clone as having low to medium fertility with medium to small clusters and medium to small berries. In New Zealand, 777 does have small bunches and berries; it is also low cropping and early ripening. The growth of 777 is less vigorous than many of the other Pinot Noir clones, and the fruit set can be variable – especially in cool conditions.

In the winery The winemaking information from ENTAV-INRA® describes 777 as having strong aromas with good structure and well-balanced tannins. In New Zealand, the response to the early import of 777 (via Martinborough Vineyard) has been mixed: it is often described as a solid performer but not noted by many winemakers as their “standout” clone. There’s an emerging consensus that 777 appreciates some hot temperatures during the ripening phase. Most site dependent, with a different character depending where planted. It can offer fruit that is red, lifted and ethereal, or darker and fleshy. Similar to 115. High color, nice tannins, and aromatic. Good ratio between fruitflesh and berry skin so a higher aroma and color extraction can be achieved. Perfect for aging.
