The Pinot Noir at Rays Road was planted by the previous owners in 2008 with a variety of superior clones. The Pinot Noir from this limestone terroir is exciting, and the future of this vineyard is certainly very bright. A portion of this site makes up 80% of the Kumeu Village Pinot Noir. The best section of this vineyard we leave for the Rays Road bottling.
After malolactic fermentation this wine was matured for 12 months in French Oak (10% new). The resulting wine is bright, fragrant with ripe cherry and other red-fruit aromas. There is also a distinctive dry leaf quality which contributes to the complexity. The palate is supple, deceptively concentrated with a distinctive limestone edge. It is approachable now, and there is no doubt that this complex wine will enhance further with bottle age.
