WINE DESCRIPTION

Yealands Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Yealands Estate, a renowned winery located in the Awatere Valley of Marlborough, New Zealand. This Pinot Noir is made from grapes grown in a single vineyard, which is known for its unique terroir and sustainable farming practices. The vineyard features a combination of clay and gravel soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The grapes are handpicked and carefully sorted before undergoing a traditional winemaking process, which includes fermentation in small batches and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant and complex, with notes of dark cherry, raspberry, and spice, and a silky smooth texture. It is a perfect representation of the high-quality Pinot Noir that Marlborough is known for.
