'Atlas' Pinot Noir - 2023

Atlas | Pinot Noir | 13.0% | Organic | Nelson | 2023

Atlas juggles multiple pinot noir clones with the experience of a seasoned carny.

Tasting Notes: With a slighter deeper fruit spectrum than the Venus and more delicate in weight than 2022, this Pinot Noir has a lovely balance of acid, fruit and tannin. This wine combines raspberry and plum with an attractive herbal lift and slight earthy notes. Fine, savoury tannin with a cleansing acidity leaving your palate fresh and wanting more.

Winemaking: A multi-clonal Pinot Noir composed of clones 777 (39%), 115 (36%), and 10/5 (25%). Atlas, at 83% whole-bunch fermentation over a range of 4-9 days, has a more whole-bunch influence than the Venus Pinot Noir. This was aged in a combination of small and large format old wood for 9 months.
