Marion’s Vineyard is a selection of predominantly two Pinot Noir clones; the Pommard and the Abel clone. Hand-picked and careful selection of grapes. 100% de-stemmed, cold-maceration and small batch fermentation in stainless steel vats and left on “skins” for 3 weeks. Aged in 35% new and 65% used French oak barriquesfor 18 months.

TASTING NOTES:  Deep ruby red in colour. Seductive aromas of wild blackberries and cherries with hints of red roses with underlying earthy spice and toasty notes. A welcoming entrance of voluptuous wild berries and fleshy plums, underlying forest floor, integrated spices, open fires with hints of toasted, hot crossed buns coming together with a savoury mineral core that leads to a long lingering finish.
