Oyster Bay Marlborough Pinot Noir 2019 – Elegant, Fruit-Forward Expression of New Zealand's Cool Climate

Key Features:

  • Producer: Oyster Bay Wines, one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wineries, is renowned for producing elegant, super-premium wines with distinct regional character.

  • Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir, carefully selected to showcase the fruit-forward elegance and complexity of New Zealand's cool-climate vineyards.

  • Region: Marlborough, New Zealand’s most iconic wine-producing region, is recognized for its ideal conditions for growing Pinot Noir, with warm sunny days and cool nights contributing to balanced fruit and vibrant acidity.

  • Vinification Process: The grapes are hand-picked from select vineyards and undergo pre-fermentation maceration to enhance flavor complexity. The must is inoculated with yeast cultures and fermented in open vats, hand-plunged to extract maximum flavor. A portion completes fermentation in French oak barriques, adding subtle oak nuances. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is matured for one year before blending, ensuring a refined and vibrant profile.

  • Alcohol By Volume (ABV): 13.5%, offering a well-balanced, medium-bodied wine that is smooth and approachable.

  • Screwcap Closure: Provides excellent preservation, ensuring the wine maintains its freshness and complexity over time.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Bright ruby-red color with clarity, indicative of its youthful freshness.

  • Aroma: The nose is fragrant with a bouquet of dark cherries, black plums, and subtle earthy undertones. A hint of oak adds a touch of complexity to the fruit aromas.

  • Taste: On the palate, the wine is elegant and silky with a perfect balance of ripe dark fruit, including juicy black plum and dark cherry. The smooth tannins and bright acidity add structure, making this Pinot Noir a wine of both delicacy and substance.

  • Finish: A lingering finish with fresh fruit flavors and a subtle, vibrant acidity that leaves a lasting impression.

Food Pairing:

  • Ideal Pairings: This versatile Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roast chicken, duck, or lamb. It also complements soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert, as well as dishes featuring mushrooms or earthy flavors.

  • Serving Suggestion: Best served slightly chilled (16-18°C) to enhance its fruit-forward characteristics and smooth texture.
