2012 La Luna, Magnum (1.5L)This Pinot Noir is a single site wine from the cooler sub region of Martinborough known as Te Muna (Secret Place) Valley. We've handled the wine simply, one single large co ferment encompassing the entire vineyard and embracing the natural diversity of several clones of Pinot Noir. Gentle maceration at modest temperatures <30 degrees Celsius, small basket pressing, light settling then a longer than average barrel time in my ambient cellar. My wines

Our cult favourite Rose pet nat

Composition 57% Pinot Noir

just a touch of umami development perhaps less than recent predecessors

Production - 613 bottles

This years blend comes from a single vineyard sited on the rocky outwash of the Dry River a little south of the village

An edge of salt

spicy and brooding that is the intention and the personality of this wine

Fresh green apple and quince flavours have been nuanced with the brioche like notes of the yeast

chill and enjoy with light Summer fare

The intention with including white fruit is to further elevate freshness and florals in the finished wine

It cleanses the palate and draws forth salivation
