Envoy Pinot Noir

Country: New Zealand
Place of Origin: Marlborough
Winery: Spy Valley

Description: Aroma of cherry, nutmeg and strawberry. Firm, fine grained tannins support a gentle, fruity structure. Concentrated red berries and subtle earthy notes. The primary fruit notes will slowly transform and earthy, spicy complexity will emerge. 

Production: Omaka Valley - clay/silt loam over clay bound glacial gravel on a steeply sloping, direct North facing aspect.  Handpicked in the morning, the grapes naturally fermented and were hand plunged in open vats over several weeks. A portion of the bunches were left as whole. After draining to barrels for 14 months, the wine was blended to rest in tank several months before bottling.
