Walnut Block’s dedication to using organic growing methods not only is environmentally friendly but also allows the fruit to develop to its full potential, producing this unique Marlborough Pinot Noir.

Planted in 2001 using top-quality Burgundy clones, the rewards of vine age and organic nurturing are seen in the wine, with deep, dark flavours and aromas a fine tannin structure and gentle acidity. The fruit is handpicked into small ‘yellow’ crates and chilled overnight to help protect the delicate flavours. Pippa and Ella putting out crates.

Winemaking Process
The cold Pinot Noir grapes are de-stemmed and crushed into open-top fermenters, then fermented using natural yeast from the vineyard. The wine is pressed and transferred to French barriques for 9-12 months’ aging.

The Collectables Pinot Noir is a true handcrafted boutique wine that will cellar for 4-5 years but is perfect to drink now

Description

Walnut Block Wines is the vision of two brothers – Clyde and Nigel Sowman.

In combining their experience in viticulture and the wine industry with their passion for and appreciation of fine wine, they have created a unique range of superbly crafted Marlborough wines. A boutique winery, Walnut Block offers some of the best wine buys in New Zealand. First planted in 1996 the Walnut Block vineyard lies in the world-renowned Wairau Valley in Marlborough.

Marlborough’s unique winegrowing conditions reflect a combination of alluvial soils, deposited over thousands of years from an ancient river bed that flowed between the mountainous borders of this valley, the region’s high sunshine hours and the temperate New Zealand climate.
