Bob Campbell MW 95 points. “Dense, intense pinot noir with dark cherry, peat, malt, anise, spice and dried mushroom flavours—a complex mix of fruit and savoury elements. A deliciously accessible wine that should develop well. 95 Points, Five Stars.”
WINERY NOTE: Moutere Clay Gravels | Low Cropping | Hand Harvested | Wild Ferment | Natural Spring Malo | Barrel Matured (15% New) | Unfined | Unfiltered | Vegan The joy of Pinot Noir is its consistent evolution. Working with newer clones has changed the shape of material at hand for winemaker Todd Stevens. As these additions to the Pinot vineyards settle down, we see a more fragrant, more supple wine in our glass. Nelson Pinot celebrates an underlying umami or savoury note and this is no exception. The deep, indigo ink in the glass is immediately alluring. This continues through the nose and the palate, embodying everything we love about Pinot Noir. Ripe blueberries, soft leather, fine cocoa tannins. A rich, velvety mouthfeel with a classic “Moutereness.” Although full of flavour and body, this wine is enduringly elegant, refined and as all wine should be - refreshing. Our Moutere Clays provide an European edge – the fruit is kept in check with an uplifting minerality and vibrancy. A wine which never tires or bores but rather offers a full juicy mouthful with a lingering complex finish. Just as the wine flows to the end of your palate there is a surge of flavour maintaining a satisfying mouthfeel. Proudly unfined and unfiltered.
