Ripe, firm and dry textures touch the palate first then flavours of dark cherry, old strawberry, and plum, some boysenberry and baking spices. Youthful and taut, ripe and delicious, a wine to enjoy from early 2025 through 2032+.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHillside frost-free site planted over limestone and clay. The oldest Pinot Noir block was planted in 1986 and is still on its own roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinct from the Eclipse vineyard because of vastly different geology with the clays that deliver rich, velvety texture. This is perhaps a more approachable wine than Eclipse, but still with elegance and underlying power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNice fresh, youthful vibrance to the appearance. A typically very highly perfumed Blue Rock Pinot bouquet of high-toned red cherry and fine floral notes. I see some extra silty brown earthy aromas which add a “darker” dimension not generally seen in Blue Rock. The oak is sitting nicely, adding some complexity and support and is not a dominant feature overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn tasting there is an abundance of rich and silky textures across the palate carrying with them elegant and ripe flavours. The tannins are ripe, rich and weighty balanced by a fine thread of acidity. A full flavoured yet elegant wine. Lovely energy and tension through the mid palate with great length and purity. This is delicious now but will cellar and drink beautifully for 10 plus years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Martinborough \/ New Zealand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidual Sugar: 1 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweetness: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity TA: 5.2 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity pH: 3.7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction Attributes: Unfiltered · Unfined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: 12 months in French oak puncheons (20% new oak)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinemaker: Joel Watson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Screwcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51105383383355,"sku":"SK45733135","price":44.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/BlueRockPinotNoir.png?v=1777596846","url":"https:\/\/craftrepublic.com.au\/products\/2021-luna-estate-blue-rock-pinot-noir-750ml","provider":"Craft Republic Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
