Mr Glover Pinot Noir Marlborough 2015
About the wine
Just 500 cases of hand-harvested, barrel-aged, brilliant Pinot
- Brilliant, mouth-filling Pinot Noir that makes you want to leap out of your chair and dance because it got every bit of care Ben Glover could come up with.
- Hand-harvested grapes from 2 north-facing slopes in the southern valleys of Marlborough.The grapes cold soak for 6-8 days, and Ben gives them incredible amounts of attention as they ferment in small open-topped fermenters, the way Pinot should be done. All topped off with 12 months in French oak ...mmmMMM.
- This Pinot is less hefty than some of the Californian Pinot on the site, and has a fresh, vibrant side that makes it the perfect pairing for more delicate food like smoked salmon!
Best before
It will do well with 3-5 years of aging...but it's drinking fantastically well now for all you impatient imbibers.
Serving advice
Open whenever you feel the need to enjoy a Pinot Noir the way it should be!
Food match
Blackened wood smoked wild salmon.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ben Glover
- Ben is an award-winning winemaker who made truly yummy wines for some of New Zealand's biggest brands, but he really missed making small batches of artisan wine from his family vines.
- Angel funding lets him do just that, so we've got a couple small batches of Pinot Noir and Chard (the same varieties that earned him accolades at Wither Hills) and everything gets the royal treatment, every little detail attended to with care and love just short of giving each individual grape a first and last name
- Ben's a specialist at New Zealand Pinot Noir and Chardonnay - his wines are the golden standard for the entire country!
