Ata Rangi McCrone Pinot Noir

The McCrone is alluring on the nose and energetic on the palate. Classic characteristics from cooler temperatures that the season delivered over the summer months. Overall growing degree days well below the normal range, picking started two weeks later than average with ripe tannins but low sugars. This is highlighted in tension and elegance, rather than weight and power of a warmer vintage. Florals and delicate herbal notes blend with wild fruits on the nose. The palate starts bright and fresh, with perfect pace through the mid palate and energy at the finish. This is a delicious wine; an in-house favourite.
