product description
NUALA Central Otago Reserve Pinot Noir 2024
Reviews
James Suckling (JamesSuckling.com): 92/100. Quite profound, with focus and drive. On the nose it shows red berries, roasted meat, dried herbs and baking spices. Medium-bodied with chalky tannins. Crushed berry flavors on the palate, with some tension. Lively and racy. Sustainable. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Tasting note
The 2024 Nuala Pinot Noir Reserve is deliciously fragrant, opening with intense aromas of red fruits joined by cassis, cherry, and black plum. Subtle savory, spicy, and earthy elements add a sophisticated layer of complexity to the bouquet. On the palate, a fresh and lively acidity perfectly balances the wine's intensity. With its fine-grained tannins and a persistent, elegant finish, this Reserve bottling showcases excellent structure and significant cellaring potential.

Additional information

Varietal: 100% Central Otago Pinot Noir
Food match: Try it alongside game birds such as quail, turkey, and duck; with a fillet of New Zealand salmon or trout; or equally with pork, lamb or venison. It could also be paired with some light Italian dishes.
Vineyard site: Bannockburn sub-region, Central Otago, New Zealand.
Vintage 2024: The season was similar to 2023, with a hot and dry January/February followed by a cooler March which compacted the harvest. Despite some challenges like frost, wind, and lower-than-average growing degree days, balanced ripening was achieved.
Winemaking: Grapes were harvested by parcel (clone) on flavors and skin ripeness. Each clone was fermented separately after undergoing a period of cold soak to enhance color extraction and aromatics using wild indigenous yeast and partial whole bunch. The wine was matured in French oak barrels (20% new) for 12 months before being blended and bottled in September. Malolactic fermentation was 100% completed.
