Babich Family Estates Organic Pinot Noir 2019

Black cherry and olive. Violet notes and a touch of cedar and liquorice.

Smooth and dense entry displaying dark fruits, morello cherry and plum, and nutmeg that persists through onto the lingering finish. Savoury dried herb and leather elements are also present.

Headwaters vineyard

The fruit was harvested from our organic certified Headwaters Vineyard near Renwick in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. The grapes were crushed into open top vats, held cold for seven days then fermented with a selection of yeast, 22% wild. A two week period on skins followed. The wine was then moved to oak barriques to undergo malolactic fermentation and to mature.
