Churton Wines Natural State 2022
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandNatural State is the Churton family's second generation, Jack and Ben Weaver's, personal project. It comes from organically / biodynamically farmed pinot noir from the hillside Clod Block of their Waihopai Valley estate vineyard, planted in 2000, their youngest pinot noir block. This was destemmed, natively fermented with 14 days on skins (half a lunar month) and tipped into French barrels for three months. Forest moss, sapid plum, branch, tart cherry and white pepper spices flood the lean palate with finely grippy tannins and early-pick green-edged acidity—a youthful, fresh and authentic pinot for autumnal mushroom dishes.Tasted: 08 September 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $43.00 | 750ml | consignment |
