Aronui
SV Pinot Noir 2015 Nelson
Very fruity, youthful and
vibrant bouquet of Pinot Noir with aromas of crunchy red cherry and berry
fruits; dark raspberry and sweet red plum suggestions; some toasty oak and
vanilla scents emerge with a light silty mineral undertone. On the palate –
dry, crunchy, firmly textured and youthful; moderate tannins are contrasted by
lively acidity; flavours or red berries, cranberry, cherry and raspberry, a
light red apple note then a return to mineral and toasty oak – but well placed
and not too much. A nice example of a Pinot slowly knitting flavours and
textures together. Best from 2018 through 2026.

Chardonnay 2015 nelson
Strong bouquet of
chardonnay with loads of vanilla and peach scents, red apple, some quince and
silty chalk-like mineral notes. Some obvious woodiness, youthful and engaging
complexity. Dry, almost full-bodied, flavours of peaches and red apple, some
quince and apricot, vanilla and fresh oak-wood. Fine tannins and plenty of
acidity, balanced, youthful, well-made. Drink now and through 2024.
