Crafted from a blend of exceptional vineyards including Mohawk Hill (Lowburn), Poison Creek (Queensberry), and Gibbston Valley, this wine exemplifies the Maude house style: poised, dark-fruited, and terroir-driven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1031\" data-start=\"562\"\u003eA challenging yet ultimately rewarding growing season—marked by early frosts, humid spring conditions, and late rains—was navigated with meticulous canopy management and harvest timing. The result: low-yielding fruit of stunning flavour depth and natural balance. Fruit was fermented with an average of 15% whole cluster and macerated on skins for 28 days, followed by 10 months in French barriques. The wine was bottled unfined and minimally filtered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1337\" data-start=\"1033\"\u003eIn the glass, the wine opens with blackcurrant, bramble and dark cherry aromas, underpinned by smoked spice and wild herb. The palate is structured yet supple, with layers of plum, clove, crushed forest berries and velvet tannins. A savoury edge brings tension and refinement to the long, mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"1342\" data-start=\"1339\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1368\" data-start=\"1344\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1366\" data-start=\"1344\"\u003eSmall-Batch Detail\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1776\" data-start=\"1369\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1451\" data-start=\"1369\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1451\" data-start=\"1371\"\u003eVineyard Sources: Mohawk Hill (55%), Poison Creek (26%), Gibbston Valley (19%)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1486\" data-start=\"1452\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1486\" data-start=\"1454\"\u003eClones: 115, 667, 5, Abel, 777\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1514\" data-start=\"1487\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1514\" data-start=\"1489\"\u003eWhole Cluster: Avg. 15%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1552\" data-start=\"1515\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1552\" data-start=\"1517\"\u003eMaceration: Avg. 28 days on skins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1602\" data-start=\"1553\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1602\" data-start=\"1555\"\u003eMaturation: 10 months in French oak barriques\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1645\" data-start=\"1603\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1645\" data-start=\"1605\"\u003eAlcohol: 13.5% \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1702\" data-start=\"1646\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1702\" data-start=\"1648\"\u003eBottled: 28 Feb 2024 | No fining, minimal filtration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1730\" data-start=\"1703\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1730\" data-start=\"1705\"\u003eProduction: 4,030 dozen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1776\" data-start=\"1731\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1776\" data-start=\"1733\"\u003eCellaring: Drink now or cellar 6–10 years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"1781\" data-start=\"1778\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2088\" data-start=\"1783\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1801\" data-start=\"1783\"\u003eFine Pinot Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1804\" data-start=\"1801\"\u003eThis is Central Otago Pinot with muscle and poise—a wine that prioritises savoury structure over flash.
