Winemaker Notes

This Pinot Noir is from block with clay soil, which is planted in 2003. It shows full of charming red to dark fruits. Very charming wine to go with food.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    A pristine, fresh and gently complex nose with blueberries, red cherries, orange zest, fresh herbs and a light spicy edge, too. The palate has a very attractively structured feel with tannins cradling fresh red-cherry and spiced red-plum flavors. Juicy and silky at the finish. Drink or hold.

Folium Vineyard is an 8ha vineyard located in the Brancott Valley in the Marlborough Region on New Zealand’s South Island. The climate in Marlborough is perfectly suited to growing premium Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. With the wide diurnal temperature range during the growing season, fruit can retain higher natural acidity while accumulating aromatics and flavor components. Their soil was created by the ancient glacial action and river systems. Low vigour clay based soil in Brancott Valley can retain sufficient moisture during dry summer to balance the growth of the vines.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

An icon and leading region of New Zealand's distinctive style of Sauvignon blanc, Marlborough has a unique terroir, making it ideal for high quality grape production (of many varieties). Despite some common generalizations, which could be fairly justified given that Marlborough is responsible for 90% of New Zealand's Sauvignon blanc production, the wines from this region are actually anything but homogenous. At the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, the vineyards of Marlborough benefit from well-draining, stony soils, a dry, sunny climate and wide temperature fluctuations between day and night, a phenomenon that supports a perfect balance between berry ripeness and acidity.

The region’s king variety, Sauvignon blanc, is beloved for its pungent, aromatic character with notes of exotic tropical fruit, freshly cut grass and green bell pepper along with a refreshing streak of stony minerality. These wines are made in a wide range of styles, and winemakers take advantage of various clones, vineyard sites, fermentation styles, lees-stirring and aging regimens to differentiate their bottlings, one from one another.

Also produced successfully here are fruit-forward Pinot noirs (especially where soils are clay-rich), elegant Riesling, Pinot gris and Gewürztraminer.
