Pinot Noir 2022 Marlborough River Farm

River Farm Wines is owned and operated by the Jones family who first purchased Marlborough land in the late 1800s - long before anyone knew of its wine growing potential.

Today, the family has dedicated 330 acres of their best sites to grape production and the ability to source 100% estate grown fruit from three separate vineyard locations within the Awatere and Wairau sub regions.

River Farm is run by brothers James & Andrew who represent the 4th generation of the Jones family on the land & their meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard is expressed in every glass of River Farm wine.

­The crystal clear water of the Awatere River is the life blood of River Farm and the source for the alluvial soils that give the wines their unique character.

This is a stylish and elegant pinot Noir with red cherry, raspberry and plum fruit aromas with a subtle hint of cloves, roasted chestnuts and some dried herbs.

The succulent palate has more intense red fruit notes of plum, dried cranberry and a hint of thyme.

This is a well structured wine with fine grained tannins and a pleasing mid palate weight, supported by a long, lingering finish with savoury, toasty oak.
