Half Price Offer (RRP $36) | 95 Points - Emma Jenkins MW
Located in the rugged Awatere Valley of the famed Marlborough wine region, Yealands Estate has established itself as one of New Zealand's leading winemakers and a pioneer of sustainable viticulture.
The 2021 Yealands Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is produced from their flagship Seaview Vineyard that is one of the most coastal vineyards in New Zealand. Here the vines contend with harsh offshore winds and lean, mineral-rich soils. These challenging conditions naturally limit yields, producing smaller grapes with a distinctive, concentrated flavour profile.
A high quality expression of Marlborough Pinot Noir that reflects an ideal growing season, this opens with vibrant aromas of wild raspberry, dark cherry and subtle violet notes. The palate is fruit-driven, elegant and well-structured, showcasing luscious strawberry, boysenberry and dark cherry flavours. With a silky mouthfeel, fine mineral acidity and supple tannins, this is a Pinot of wide appeal that should continue to drink superbly over the next 3 to 4 years.
With a RRP of $36, we're thrilled to offer this highly acclaimed (95 points Decanter) Marlborough Pinot Noir at the discounted price of $17.90 a bottle.
"95 Points. Brightly aromatic, with crushed wild raspberry, black cherry and plenty of floral, spice and herb notes. Very enticing. Elegant palate with ripe red berry compote. Flowing and silky, with a slightly sappy twist and nicely judged acidity and tannin. Good length. A smartly made wine with plenty of juicy immediate charm but the depth and balance to reward further time in bottle."- Emma Jenkins MW, Decanter.
