Tiraki Pinot Noir 2021
Tiraki is Maori for ‘clearing of the sky’
Tiraki pays homage to the local Maori name for Marlborough “Kei Puta te Wairau” or “Hole in the sky over Wairau”. This is important to us given our Maori heritage and longstanding family connection with the region.
Clouds parting is synonymous with new beginnings and optimism. Through our wine, we aspire to share our joy, passion and sense of adventure with the world.
Tasting notes
A complex and concentrated Pinot Noir with aromas of cherry, dark spice and violets. On the palate black cherry and doris plum mingle with subtle spicy oak and silky tannins giving the wine structure while maintaining elegance.
Food Pairing: Perfect with steak tartare, grilled vegetables, butterflied lamb leg over charcoal or braised beef shin ragu.
Description
Tiraki Pinot Noir 2020 from Marlborough, New Zealand
Grape: 100% Pinot Noir
The vineyards are established on Longfield Farm, purchased by the family in 1870. With six generations involved over the past 150 years, the 260Ha property has evolved substantially. However, what has remained constant is the family’s commitment to providing products of the highest quality whilst continuing to nurture the land for future generations.
Nestled in the Southern Valleys of Marlborough lies the Longfield Farm. Since 1999, the property has gradually been developed into an extensive vineyard, growing a variety of premium grapes including Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. High sunshine hours, wide diurnal range, clay soils and our dedicated team work together to produce outstanding grapes that our family winemaker transforms into unique world-class wines. Pinot Noir from Marlborough
Vintage: The 2020/21 growing season started with a cool spring, resulting in a moderate flowering, naturally lowering vine yields. Summer was warm and dry and fruit was picked in early Autumn in pristine condition.
Winemaking: The fruit was hand picked with the majority being destemmed and fermented in four ton open top fermenters. 10% whole bunches were included to add freshness and vibrancy to the wine. Aged in French oak for 11 months 20% of which was new.
Premium Pinot Noir from Marlborough, NZ.
