Q WINE Pinot Noir 2020 750ml

A return to more traditional conditions in Waitaki during spring and summer brought periods of turbulence alongside genuine warmth. These conditions resulted in lighter crops with intensely concentrated small berries, leading us to identify it early as a true “vintage” year for Waitaki wines.

The nature of limestone soils meant the season could be managed with confidence, keeping canopies healthy and fruit free of disease. Autumn proved the most generous of all, offering the luxury of harvesting at the perfect moment to showcase fruit acidity and flavour. The wines from this vintage will be enjoyed for many years to come.

 

 

 

Intense, spiced, varietal and fruity, a complex bouquet with a core of dark cherry and spices, intense mineral and no mistaking the use of barrel for complexity and richness. Dry, still developing with a core of fruit surrounded by a frame of fine tannins with lots of polish, a backbone of acidity still yet a developing quality as the wine settles into a new phase. I really like the chalky mouthfeel softened by core dark berry and boysenberry flavours, there’s a flinty limestone quality and gently saline topline to the acidity. Well made with best drinking from 2028 through 2035+

Fragrant and attractive Pinot Noir, singing red fruit and floral supported by lacy acidity and a dusty long finish.

Seductive aromatics of wild berry and delicate floral notes, with a hint of spice. Luscious on the palate, the tannins are soft and silky, making this a very elegant Pinot Noir.
