Buy OnlineWe have tried several "Cancelled Export/End of Label/Excess Stock" Pinot Noirs recently, some sounding too good to be true. However, after tasting and declining those, we came across this. It was a standout. We purchased every single case available because when word gets around about what a tasty wine and great buy this is, we want to still have some more to sell!
It is a lovely, deliciously balanced Pinot Noir, in classic charming and fruit-forward Marlborough style, yet has a depth of flavour and character with a feather tail of spice on the long finish to mark its quality.
Produced by Giesen wines for the Australian market and certainly not to sell for this price. In the vineyard and winery, it was given the same care and attention as their other Top Pinot Noirs, with the fruit coming from the family owned, high density planted, low yielding, organic vineyard in Marlborough's Waihopai Valley.
As the back label states… "Quality has always been the absolute focus for Konrad wines. It starts in the vineyard where no corners are cut and continues in the winery where handcrafting is the standard."
While this will certainly cellar, there is no need to lay this down or over-think things – it ticks every box for your next midweek Pinot! And terrific value too.
Winery notes
"The Konrad Single Estate Organic Pinot Marlborough 2022 is a true testament to the quality and precision of New Zealand winemaking. From the renowned Giesen Wine Estate in Marlborough, this vintage boasts a beautiful deep ruby hue that is reminiscent of the region's vibrant landscapes.
On the nose, aromas of ripe red berries and cherries mingle with subtle hints of earthy forest floor and delicate floral notes. The palate is equally captivating, with a smooth and velvety texture that envelops the taste buds. Flavours of juicy blackberries, plums, and a touch of spice are balanced by a refreshing acidity and silky tannins. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of pure elegance.
Fruit sourced from the Giesen's own high density planted, low yielding organic vineyards in Marlborough's Waihopai Southern Valleys. Fruit was gently de-stemmed as soon as it arrived at the winery, then gravity-fed to open top fermenters to keep the fruit intact. Cold soaking for seven to nine days allowed early development of colour and flavour prior to fermentation. The wine was macerated for fourteen days before being basket pressed. The free-run juice was aged in 300L French oak barrels for twelve months resulting in a complex, full-bodied Organic Pinot Noir."
