Discover the elegance of Spy Valley Pinot Noir 2022, crafted in Marlborough, New Zealand. This vintage was shaped by near-perfect conditions during flowering, followed by cooler, wetter weather in February, before returning to ideal ripening in March. Careful vineyard monitoring ensured consistent fruit quality throughout harvest.
Each estate-grown vineyard block was vinified separately, with mostly destemmed grapes fermented in open vats. Gentle plunging techniques preserved vibrant colour and flavour before the wine was pressed off skins and aged for 11 months prior to blending.
