2017 PADDY BORTHWICK "PAPER ROAD" PINOT NOIR WAIRAPA
2017 PADDY BORTHWICK "PAPER ROAD" PINOT NOIR WAIRAPA, NEW ZEALAND. 100% Pinot Noir.
This about the purity of Pinot Noir with spicy savoury and bright, juicy red fruits. It is medium-bodied with soft velvety tannins, a mix of tart and sweet cherry fruit with a chocolate touch to the lightly oaked finish and a spicy zestiness to the lingering aftertasteGladstone, Wairarapa, New Zealand. Diurnal temperature fluctuations, low rainfall, low humidity and fantastic deep free draining soils combine to create an exceptional environment for Pinot Noir.
Harvested from 3 vineyards allows selection of the best batches to consistently produce pure Pinot Noir. Temperature controlled fermentation using only natural yeasts, combined with hand plunging to optimize the fruit and tannin balance. Following extended post-ferment maceration on skins the wine was drained and pressed to barrel. Rigorous barrel selection and blending is followed by minimal fining and filtration prior to bottling. Aged in100% French oak aged for 8 months with a mixture of selected cooperages of which 15% of the barrels are new.
About:Established in 1996 the family owned and managed vineyard produces wine with flavours that are a direct reflection of the Gladstone region. Original survey documents describe a road which was to run through the Estate family vineyard. Happily the Paper Road was never formed, and instead, gives its name to this individual range of wines. Ancient stony, alluvial soils and a cool climate allows the grapes to grow in harmony in their environment. Sustainable practices and minimal intervention in the vineyard and winery allow the wines to display their distinctive single vineyard characteristics. (Winery)
