Cracka Review
A definition of impromptu is to be prompted by an occasion rather than being planned in advance, which sounds like the perfect situation to crack one of these puppies open! It's stunning value for a Pinot Noir, and shows appealing smells of blackberries and cherries, chopped herbs, anise and earthiness on the nose. The palate is quite full, but it does have some elegance, and displays tastes of red fruits and anise spice, licks of savouriness, ripe, fine tannins, and a soft, graceful finish. This will stand up to rich red meat dishes.
Winemaker's Notes
Opening a bottle of great Pinot Noir should be an unplanned thing – a spur of the moment decision prompted by occasion or desire. Our Impromptu Pinot Noir is crafted to be enjoyed now, tomorrow or anytime the need arises!
2014 Vintage: Ruby red coloured with floral aromas of dried roses, chocolate and plum, this Pinot Noir has a gentle and fine palate of sweet cherry with an added complexity of savoury roasted herbs.
Food Match: Pinot Noir is an extremely versatile food wine as it can pair well with either white or red meats, creamy sauces, and spicy seasonings. It’s also a wonderful match with swordfish or roast salmon. The classic Pinot Noir matches are with game birds, roasted red meats, mushrooms as well as mild and creamy cheese.
Cellaring: 2 – 5+ yrs.
Vintage Notes: After a very mild winter, spring was warm with good heat accumulation from October to December, along with some well-timed rainfall and winds that were lighter than usual. These warm calm conditions were ideal for flowering and fruit set providing a very good start to the 2014 growing season. In January temperatures dropped and cool overcast conditions prevailed for most of the month. Temperatures warmed up again during February and stable weather continued through to ripening. Temperatures were in the normal range with an increase in rainfall towards the end of the season. Overall 2014 was considered to be a good season with Growing Degree Days (GDDs) at 1028. Our Pinot Noir was hand-picked at between 4.0-8.6 tonnes per hectare. (Av. 5.5 t/ha).
Winemaking: The fruit was chilled overnight before crushing the next day, typically as 4 tonne lots in open top fermenters. The crushed fruit was allowed to warm slowly for 5–7 days as the natural yeast ferment began to take place. Ferments were hand plunged 3 times per day. Cooling was used to ensure the ferments peaked below 32ºC. The wine was then held warm (>20ºC) post ferment to allow ongoing tannin integration. After an average of 24 days on skins the wines were then pressed to tank where they were settled for 1–2 days before being racked into 300 litre French oak barrels. The wine was inoculated for malolactic fermentation in spring and the final wine selection made by identifying ferments and barrels from all the wines post malolactic fermentation. Aiming to produce an earlier maturing style, the final selection received 18% new oak. The wine was racked once to tank prior to the 2015 vintage and filtered prior to bottling in January 2016.
Alc/vol: 14.0%
Expert Reviews
Bob Campbell MW (2014 Vintage) says
Soft-textured, silken Pinot Noir with cherry, woodsmoke, liquorice and spicy oak flavours. Attractive wine that’s all the better for a little time in bottle. Nicely integrated wine with density, integrity and character. Offers good value at this price.
