This is our debut release of the Settlement Vineyard Pinot Noir. Located in the Omaka Valley in the Southern Valleys chain, the vineyard is organically farmed and was established in 2009. The north-facing hillside, dubbed the Back Block is planted to high density (3788 plants / ha) while the exposure yields naturally small bunches and berries. Matt explains our Blank Canvas Settlement Vineyard Pinot Noir is a classic representation of Pinot Noir from the Omaka. It has incredible density and power. For us, Omaka is the most tannic sub-region in Marlborough with this wine just swallowing the 50% whole-bunch proportion. It is an incredibly structured and impressive wine and is built to age.
