Description
The Coal Pit Pinot Noir has dark cherry aromatics with savoury cocoa undertones, underpinned with delicate notes of dried herbs. Structured tannins extend the length of the palate, and point towards the ability to age for this wine. An elegant yet powerful Pinot Noir, where depth of sweet cherry fruit and tannin abound, balanced with the delightful acidity that the Coal Pit site is known for.
Coal Pit Vineyard covers 12 hectares of land in the heart of Gibbston. The vineyard is planted with 7 hectares of Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc vines that date back to 1994, some of the oldest in Gibbston.
The Coal Pit vineyard is planted on glacially formed schist based soils, with a mix of clones for added complexity and balance. Coal Pit typically yields intensely aromatic wines with strong minerality and is run in accordance with the proactive environmental management programme, Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand. Coal Pit are also one of the few single vineyards in Gibbston where the grapes are grown, handpicked and crafted into wines on site and is currently undergoing conversion to biodynamic viticulture and will be fully certified by 2023.
