Massey Dacta Pinot Noir Marlborough, 2019

Tasted as a cask sample, intense redcurrant, blackcurrant cordial and floral aromas give lots of appeal. Massey Dacta 2019 Pinot Noir is medium bodied with a supple palate with light soft tannins complemented by a firm acidity and crunchy blackcurrant finish. Grapes were bought in from a friend’s hillside vineyard called Rawiri. The vineyard is planted with a mix of three clones of Pinot Noir 777, 115 and 667. After fermentation in open-top fermenters with hand plunging, the wine was transferred to barrel where it will remain until bottling in January.
