TASTING NOTE | The 2021 Pinot Noir delivers an impressive wine. Incredibly perfumed with sandal wood and violets, underlined by wild cranberry aromas. On the palate it has complex fruit flavours, a wonderful savoury element, a hint of very delicate Darjeeling tea, very textural and poised with mouth-watering tannins and a fine long finish. A fine delicate pinot noir that really shows off the best of the Churton terroir.

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Churton

Churton was established in 1997 by Sam and Mandy Weaver. From site selection and bio-dynamic practices through to low intervention winemaking, Churton produces exceptional terroir driven wines.

Churton is a 22 hectare single vineyard and encompasses an undulating ridge line between the Omaka and Waihopai valleys in Marlborough, New Zealand. 200 metres above sea level, the distinctive property faces northeast and captures the cool morning and warm daytime sun ideal for slow and long ripening. Soils are older and denser than the neighbouring valley floor with good clay content

--------THE REGION--------

Marlborough

New Zealand's answer to Napa Valley, Marlborough accounts for the majority of New Zealand's vines and wine production. Over 75 percent of the vineyards are planted with Sauvignon Blanc and it is where this varietal really shines. The region is also home to New Zealand’s small sparkling-wine industry, using the traditional method to vinify Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
