Soft & Mineral

First, my impressions from the tasting.

The color is slightly pale , and the bright berry fruit flavors are a strong impression in this Pinot Noir.

It has a concentrated flavor like cherry compote , and after swallowing , you will feel the powdery, smooth tannins that stick to your palate . The aftertaste lasts for a long time , inviting you to eat.

The balance of crisp acidity , fruitiness , hints of wood and spices other than fruit , and a pleasant, lingering powdery astringency make this a very satisfying drink.

I think this is a wine that is in no way inferior to Pinot Noirs in the same price range from Burgundy, and you can feel the high quality of each element.

The producer is The Marlborist, who named his winery after his extraordinary love for Marlborough, New Zealand's major wine-producing region.

This is a new winery founded by three experienced men who grew up in Marlborough.

They claim to be Marlboro specialists,

"To evolve Marlborough wine and create something special like nothing before."

We produce wines that are handmade rather than mass-produced, and are perfect for special occasions rather than for everyday use.

This Pinot Noir is made from six clones grown using a combination of organic and biodynamic methods .

The hand-picked grapes are chilled overnight and mostly destemmed. Natural fermentation is carried out using wild yeasts. The wine is aged in barrels for 11 months. Each batch is blended and shipped just before bottling.

It is made using a biodynamic and wild yeast-based natural method, but the flavor is extremely pure and complex, resulting in a beautiful finish.

It goes well with ratatouille, chicken or white fish stewed in tomato sauce, etc. Yakitori (with sauce) and grilled mackerel are also good.
