| THREE PADDLES PINOT NOIR 2017 Martinborough, North Island |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
NGA WAKA |
| NEW in Vintages. New Zealand’s Martinborough small region is famous world-over for their lovely Pinot Noir and this one over-delivers quality-wise. Visually there is a touch of maturity here - medium garnet red with a hint of amber on the edges. The nose is quite sublime with intense, ripe, woodsy, wild raspberries and spicy, plummy-cassis notes and a wisp of sandalwood and beetroot. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied with lots of bright, ripe, cassis-black-cherry fruit flavours with a lingering, lifted, very faintly smoke-tinged, gently cedary, harmonious finish. Ripe rather rounded tannins here - matured for 16 months in French oak barriques and bottled unfined and unfiltered. A detour at the price, it’s versatile and ready-to-drink with 13.5% alcohol and 1 g/L residual sugar with lot number 18046 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Screwcap closure. |

| TASTING NOTE: This winery's name is taken from Nga Waka a Kupe (the canoes of Kupe): the three hills that sit side by side like upturned canoes and form the backdrop for the town of Martinborough and its surrounds. Expect this fully mature Pinot Noir to deliver juicy raspberry, blackberry and beetroot character and pair nicely with roast chicken thighs and root veggies.
