"It’s brightly fruited and fragrant on the nose with sweet plum, strawberry, thyme and floral characters, followed by a fruit-expressive palate that’s juicy and flowing. Attractively styled with vibrant fruit flavours and smooth texture, making it immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Fruit for Cherry Block comes from a small single vineyard in Alexandra. The Vines are now between 18 and 20 years old and are several different clones (10/5, 5, 6, 7,114, 115, 667, 743, and 777). The soil type is shallow, free-draining Molyneux sandy loam with some stony sand.
The extreme continental climate of Central Otago is one of fiercely cold nights and long, warm Summer days. It is these intense conditions combined with the lush surrounding cherry orchards that serve to create the vivid, rich and spicy nature of Cherry Block Pinot Noir.
Food Pairing: Great by itself or enjoyed with venison, duck and turkey.
