Ata Rangi Kotinga Pinot Noir 2021 (Limited Release)
The second release of our Kotinga Pinot Noir, this wine is made up entirely from the Dijon clones of 115, 667 and 777 making this wine high energy.
Bright fruit aromas of cherry, red currant, and plum stone, set the scene on the nose. The palate opens with a flourish of supple tannins uplifted with fluid acidity. Flavours of grapefruit and juniper spread through to the end of the palate.
Aged in a 2280 litre foudre (very large oak barrel) instead of the traditional 228 litre barrique to highlight and retain the bright crunchy qualities of Dijon clones.
These vines are grown on gravels.
This is a delightful wine and unique expression of Martinborough that is playful now and will also reward cellaring.
