Product description
This little privately owned estate lies in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys where the wines differ slightly from the mainstream. The property is spread over five plots, each with its own soil profile and micro climate, which allows wine maker Eveline Fraser (ex Cloudy Bay) the chance to make unusually complex, multi dimensional wines. The wine making is modern, but there is more than a nod towards tradition; in ‘Little Beauty’ the best of new and the best of the old unite together seamlessly.
Black edition is only made in exceptional years and sourced from the best parcels. Fermented with 100% wild yeast and aged in French oak to add weight and depth. An exciting mix of dark ripe cherry, baked red fruit compote, coffee mocha and savoury wild thyme with hints or earth and cinnamon. Smooth and supple on the palate this is an alluring and elegant Pinot Noir.
