Secret Stone Pinot Noir 2022

Secret Stone takes its name from the rare and precious greenstone found hidden beneath the riverbeds throughout New Zealand’s South Island. This greenstone is crafted into beautiful carvings that are passed down from one generation to the next. Nestled within these greenstone heartlands, lies the wine region of Marlborough. Marlborough has not only developed an international reputation for its Sauvignon Blanc, but its climate is also very fitting for growing some of New Zealand’s most beautiful and consistent Pinot Noir; individual parcels were cold soaked from fermented separately, then gently plunged three times a day to help build tannins. This wine is great value, showcasing what Marlborough can do with Pinot Noir without being too flashy. This is a young and vibrant wine with aromas of spicy plum and hints of smoky cherry. The palate is smooth and velvety with a savoury finish and subtle tannins.
