  2022 Pinot Noir, Zephyr Wines

  £2450

  The Glover family were one of the first to plant grapes on their farm in Marlborough’s Dillon’s Point sub-region in 1988. Nineteen years later, led by eldest son Ben, the family launched Zephyr, a range of single vineyard wines from the farm. The name Zephyr means ‘a gentle breeze’. Inspired by the prevailing wind that moderates their vineyards.

  This 2022 Pinot Noir expresses the ethereal, aromatic and structural flair of the hillside slopes of the Sutherland Settlement vineyard and the Southern Valleys of Marlborough. The wine shows classic cool climate precision matched with palate depth and the ability to support texture.

  In the glass it opens with aromas of raspberries, wild forest berry fruits with high notes of cedar and spice. On the palate it is rich and vibrant with primary notes of cherry, currants and wonderfully grainy french oak.  Juicy, textural tannins lead on to a succulent lingering finish.

The palate is rich and concentrated that’s filled with dark and black cherry flavours, dark plums and anise underpinned by scorched earth and spicy cedar. Sturdy but fine-grained tannins provide some underlying muscle to the fruit. Excellent power with a long finish of dark and black fruits, anise, scorched earth and spicy cedar. Will improve for 6-8 years.
