2024 Brokenwood Pinot Noir

Brokenwood has been producing Pinot Noir from the Indigo Vineyard since 2002, utilizing three clones (114, 115, and MV6) planted on diverse soil types to create both varietal and single-vineyard wines with bright fruit character. The 2024 vintage was challenging, with a late-season frost in October significantly reducing yields, particularly for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, leading to uneven fruit maturation and requiring careful picking. Despite the low yields, the fruit was in good condition, and harvest occurred under clear skies.
Thirty percent whole bunch inclusion with maturation predominately in used French oak for a period of 9 months. Semi translucent bright ruby red colour with a light crimson red hue. Fragrant red cherry, violet and red raspberry scents sail out of the glass followed by a whiff of anise, fresh herbs and spice. Delicious red cherry, red raspberry and delicate rhubarb flavours carry a fresh energetic feel with notions of fresh herbs, delicate forest floor and spice ensuing. Bright youthful almost crunchy like acidity and polished tannins. Concludes long with lots of frisky red fruits.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
