Dog Point Pinot Noir

TASTING NOTES


Deep Ruby in colour. Aromas of vibrant ripe red fruit imbued with hints of
violets together with subtle earthy and smokey nuances supplemented by spicy oak savouriness. A palate richly flavoured with intense red fruits, well balanced
subtle sweetness and spicy well integrated oak leading to a delicate lingering soft finish.

 


BACKGROUND


James Healy and Ivan Sutherland left Cloudy Bay in 2003, after many years service as winemaker and vineyard manager respectively, to make wine from Ivan`s Dog Point vineyard. Fruit is sourced from selected vineyard plantings of older well-established vines. Low yields, hand harvesting, natural yeasts, natural malolactic, lots of lees contact and a generally low tech approach are key to the magnificence of these wines.

 


FOOD MATCHING

   
Wonderfully adaptable, Pinot Noir will accompany Poultry , white meats and game. Try Slow roasted Pork Belly, truffled lentils & cabbage& sautéed mushrooms or  Rustic Salad of Rabbit, lardons, walnuts & blue cheese . Venison and mushroom pie.
