2025 Under the Plum Tree

Red Field Blend

Rapaura, Marlborough

Field blend: 74% Pinot Noir, 14% Pinot Blanc, 12% Pinot Gris

Vinification: Handpicked, 100% whole cluster, 12 days maceration. Élevage in seasoned French oak for 7 months. Unfined and unfiltered.

Vinsitu: Fermented in the vineyard where the grapes were grown.

Ingredients: Certified organic grapes, minimal sulphur dioxide.

Notes: A kaleidoscope of aromas of cherry, raspberry and blood orange through to an array of spices with a mixture of dried herbs. Gentle tannin is contrasted with a lovely negroni-like bitterness and a vibrancy on the palate. The wine takes a nod to being a light and fresh chilled red. Yet it asks to be contemplated seriously as a spicy, aromatic and complex red wine.
