Ribbonwood Pinot Noir Marlborough, New Zealand. This vibrant Red still dry wine, crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, undergoes a short cold soak and gentle plunging before fermentation, then ages for seven months to develop its elegant character. It offers enticing aromas of dark cherry, cranberry, and a hint of mocha, leading to a juicy palate with summer fruit compote flavours and savoury, dried herb notes. Soft tannins and a persistent finish make it a delightful choice. Perfectly pairs with poultry, pork, or mushroom dishes.

Vinification
Upon arrival at the winery each parcel was given a short cold soak period before fermentation commenced to harness varietal character. Plunging was gentle and once a day with an aim to retain elegance in the wine. Once dry, wines remained on skins until the tannin balance looked approachable. Components were aged for seven months prior to being blended and bottled.
