Scout 2020 Waipara Pinot Noir (6 Bottles) Waipara, New Zealand

by Wines By Cellars

$214.00

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Waipara lies just to the north of Christchurch, and is one of the most interesting regions in New Zealand for Pinot Noir, due to the incredibly varied geology and site aspects.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from a west facing site, planted on a limestone/clay mixture. It was farmed organically (certified), and handpicked. A 70/30 mix of Clone 5 and 115. The fruit was in perfect condition when it reached the winery, so we destemmed and let ferment naturally for 25 days. It was pressed into old puncheons for malo, before racking and bottling unfiltered in January 2020. No additions were made to the wine apart from 50ppm of SO2 at bottling.

Vibrant and aromatic, dark red berries with an element of savouriness, the on the palate. The palate has a mineral feel from the limestone soil, along with firm driving tannins that match the bright acidity.

About Scout Wines

Sarah Adamson, Winemaker at Scout Wines

Growing up in the Deep South of New Zealand, winemaking wasn’t even talked about when considering career options in my final years of school. Luckily, my parents had a great cellar and interest in wine which in turn sparked an enthusiasm

With a love for science and the outdoors I began to explore all options and found myself chatting to Invercargill’s only other Viticultural graduate. After a year of BSc and LLB, I left Canterbury University to pursue a career in winemaking. There was no turning back, and I have no regrets!

My favourite part of winemaking is blending. I love seeing all the parcels and batches come together to create what is going to be in the bottle.
