Mount Edward Ted Pinot Noir 2022
Mount Edward Ted Pinot Noir is a biodynamic, organically certified Central Otago Pinot Noir from one of New Zealand's most characterful winemakers. Duncan Forsyth planted vines right on the edge of what is possible in Central Otago's marginal climate — a decision that has been vindicated many times over. His vineyards are tended with a biodynamic approach that includes the reassuring chaos of pigs and chickens, and the wines have won praise worldwide. Aromas of dark berry fruits, spice, savoury tones, and thyme, with a sinewy palate full of bright fruit flavours and a delicate herbal thread throughout. Why You'll Love It This is Central Otago Pinot Noir from Mount Edward, the project of Duncan Forsyth — a winemaker who has made a virtue of pushing boundaries in one of the world's most marginal wine regions. The vineyards are organically certified in both vineyard and winery, farmed biodynamically with natural vineyard balance maintained by a resident population of pigs and chickens. Central Otago's unique parent rock is glacially derived schist, with soils that had been cultivated only a few times in the 100 years before the viticulturists arrived — some not at all. The growing season is warm and dry with cool nights, short, with a risk of frost early and late, and crop levels are actively restricted through careful canopy management to achieve balance and uniform ripeness. Vinified using open fermenters, hand plunging, and natural yeasts, then aged for 11 months in French oak (20% new) before racking and settling in tank for a further 3 months. Vegetarian, vegan, and biodynamic. This is New Zealand Pinot Noir with character, terroir, and genuine conviction. Vineyard & Winemaking Produced by Mount Edward in Central Otago, New Zealand. Organically certified in vineyard and winery. Biodynamic farming on glacially derived schist soils. De-stemmed fruit, open fermenters, hand plunging, natural yeasts. Aged 11 months in French oak (20% new), then 3 months settling in tan
Rust En Vrede Estate Vineyards Syrah 2020
Dark, rich fruit and intense floral perfume jump out of the glass. Complex aromas of violets and white blossoms combine with concentrated blueberry, vanilla and dark chocolate. The wine has a bold, full palate as rich as the nose promises - intense blackberry and blueberry layered with dark chocolate, tobacco leaf and toast. Partial whole-bunch fermentation adds a savoury spiciness, and lively acidity balances the robust tannins, giving power and structure of the wine. Bold blueberry and toast flavours on the finish promise a good aging potential in this wine. Established in 1694, Rust en Vrede is proud to be part of a remarkable three hundred year old wine tradition. Since 1977 the Engelbrecht family has specialized in the exclusive production of red wine, with the focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Proprietor Jean Engelbrecht has worked to maintain Rust en Vrede as one of South Africa’s premium red wine estates, with full-bodied andcomplex wines that reflect the uniqueness of its Stellenbosch terroir
