Written Notes

‘Mata-Au’ Central Otago Pinot Noir 2019 – Next step up is this one, from the Mata-Au vineyards in the Lowburn and Parkburn areas of the Cromwell basin. More specifically, 33% from the Tiger Vineyard at Lowburn, 47% from the Viper Vineyard at  Parkburn, Cromwell, and 20% from the Mason Vineyard, also at Parkburn. This wine is made from their best blocks here. Alluvial schist, for those who like to know these things. The name? The local name for the Clutha River. It is pronounced martar-o. 

The colour is a lovely magenta/purple. The wine is ripe and balanced, but still very youthful. Raspberries and mulberries. There is also an undertow of a minerally/gravelly character. Some complexity is already emerging. There are forest floor and florals, which appear to be more apparent on the palate. A note of core sweetness also appears on the finish, which is long and balanced. A silky texture. A lovely Pinot. 93 now, but it will surely go higher.
