A dignified Pinot made by a Japanese
The long-awaited new vintage, Marlborough Pinot Noir 2024, has arrived from Kimura Cellars , the winery of Japanese winemaker Shigehisa Kimura!
Marlborough , where Kimura is based, is a well-known major producer of Sauvignon Blanc. However, its cool climate and abundant sunshine are also ideal for Pinot Noir, making it New Zealand's leading producer in terms of yield. There is a wide variety of Pinot Noir available, from relatively affordable mass-produced varieties to premium wines that have earned international acclaim.
Among them, Kimura chose Awatere Valley , a particularly cool subregion of Marlborough. This region is known for its high altitude, large temperature differences between day and night, and dry winds, which allow the fruit to ripen slowly and produce extremely dense and delicate Pinot . Kimura's Pinot truly reflects the unique character of Awatere.
The taste is powerful , with a strong fruitiness and a somewhat elegant acidity , and the balance can best be described as "dignified."
The 2019 vintage of Kimura Pino won a gold medal at the International Wine Challenge (IWC) in the UK, and the 2023 vintage also won a gold medal at the Marlborough Wine Show 2024 , earning it high praise both locally and internationally.
Cultivation and brewing
Located in the coolest part of Marlborough, Awatere Valley's stony silt loam soil allows for excellent drainage, resulting in concentrated fruit. The vines used are from 22-year-old Abel & 777 clone. The wine is hand-harvested and macerated for approximately one week in cold temperature before being fermented with cultured yeast.
During fermentation, the wine is carefully extracted by pichasing two to three times a day, and then aged for 11 months in French oak barrels (15% new).
Tasting Comments
The color is a slightly pale ruby red , and when you swirl the glass, you can see the youthful luster.
The aroma is a mellow blend of ripe raspberries and plums with spices such as cloves and cinnamon, with hints of earth and red flowers like rosehips lurking in the background.
The palate is full of fruit, with the precision and delicacy that is typical of Marlborough, especially the Awatere Valley , and the soft tannins and clean acidity create a long finish.
It can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to become even more rounded and profound with a few years of aging .
Pairing example
I would like to pair Kimura Shigehisa's wines with Japanese food. The following dishes are sure to be an excellent match.
- Seared bonito
- Sweet and spicy chicken
- Yellowtail teriyaki
- Grilled eggplant dengaku
- Maitake mushroom and beef stew
This Pinot has a pale color but a strong core and fruity flavor, and I think it matches well with the flavors of Japanese cuisine.
About the Kimura Cellars Winery
KIMURA CELLARS is a family-run winery run by Japanese owner Shigehisa Kimura.
Kimura studied winemaking and viticulture in New Zealand and gained experience working in cultivation and brewing at several local wineries before founding Kimura Cellars in Marlborough in 2009.
Based on the concept of "wine where you can see the face of the maker" and "producers who are close to consumers," we carefully craft wine using organic farming methods.
In 2018, they finally began cultivating grapes in their own fields, which was a long-cherished dream of theirs, and are now focusing even more on organic farming methods.
The Kimura Cellars logo is a cherry blossom motif that represents the new shoots of a fern (koru), a symbolic plant of New Zealand. The fern is a symbol of New Zealand and represents new beginnings, growth, and harmony.
It seems that Kimura's wines are often enjoyed on wedding anniversaries and other special occasions.
About Marlborough
Marlborough is the heart of New Zealand's wine region.
Marlborough has ideal natural conditions for grape growing, such as abundant sunshine and large temperature differences throughout the day, and produces over 80% of New Zealand's wine.
Among them, Sauvignon Blanc, characterized by its crisp acidity and overflowing fruitiness, boasts an overwhelming production volume and is loved worldwide for its unique character. In red wine, Pinot Noir, with its rich berry fruit flavor, is also popular.
