Beautifully refined, lacy Pinot Noir from two certified organic Marlborough vineyards.
$56.00
An elegant wine with an appealing supple, fine-grained texture.

About The Wine
What a lovely elegant expression of NZ Pinot from Novum, the new(ish) guys on the Marlborough block.
Will and Rachel, the Novum winemaking duo, have selected parcels from two cool vineyard sites in the Southern Valleys to create a linear, refined wine that has great deftness and length.
The nose is all bright cherry and pomegranate, with a hint of earthiness. In the mouth there is a pure line of supple fruit with a savoury edge. We're guessing some truffly, autumnal flavours will develop with time - can't wait to try this in a few years.
A Marlborough Pinot of delicate class.
About Novum Wines
Novum is a new wine producer, as the name might indicate to wine-drinking latin scholars. They are husband and wife team Will Hoare and Rachel Jackson Hoare, who have taken their Marlborough winemaking experience and already created an adoring fan-base for their pure, driven expressions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We are now part of the fan-base!
Will started as a cellar hand and finished as General Manager and winemaker at Fromm Vineyards in Marlborough. Rachel also worked at Fromm but not before vintages at Domaine Drouhin in Oregon and Domaine des Comtes Lafon in Meursault, as well as Cloudy Bay.
With their extensive knowledge of Marlborough vineyards, Will and Rachel source fruit from around the region and have planted a home block with an eye to the future.

From The Producer
Fruit for this wine was grown in the highly regarded Southern Valleys sub region of Marlborough. The heavy clay loam soils (which brings a richness to the final wine) together with the higher day time temperatures that occur in the narrow valleys of this area, make it the perfect environment in which to grow high quality Pinot Noir grapes. Fruit for this wine was harvested from our flagship Quarters Vineyard in the Brancott Valley with also a small amount from the Settlement Vineyard. They are both: fully certified organic vineyards located on mix of steep and flat sites, have high density planting with a mix of UCD and Dijon clones.

Critic Reviews
"An initial impression revealed predominantly floral and violet notes. They were joined by fruit, cherry and berry characters, while on the finish there was spice and a suggestion of hazelnut. An elegant wine with an appealing supple, fine-grained texture." - Bob Campbell (The Real Review)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
