2008 Pinot Noir

The 2007 MOMO Pinot Noir is a blend of fruit from three Marlborough vineyards with varying soil characteristics. The fruit for this wine was hand picked between March 21 and April 10 and hand sorted before being destemmed and cooled. After fermentation in open-top fermenters the wine was transferred to French barriques to mature over a period of eleven months.

Winemaker   Clive Dougall

"Maybe Marlborough isn’t New Zealand’s most renowned pinot noir region, but it may be the most consistent. MOMO ’07 has smoky plum and spice aromas with typically Kiwi foresty notes. The friendly palate is velvety and rich with a tangy finish and soft tannins."
