Slowhand Pinot Noir Muddy Water 2009

New Zealand > South Island > Canterbury-Waipara

'Tended by slow hands' and from the oldest vines, Slowhand is perfumed and refined with old world elegance

A nose of rendered fruit and violets laced with white pepper, this savoury and dense wine has real personality. The concentrated palate and smooth fruit combine with supple and silky tannins to produce a tight and fresh wine. The sharp earthiness pairs beautifully with food

Pinot Noir, 2009, Dry, Medium bodied, 14.0%, Screwcap

Drink now 2011 - 2014

"Made with Organically grown grapes from the estate's oldest vineyard. A top wine made by one of Waipara's most quality-conscious wineries. Seductively accessible but will age well. 19/20."

This refers to the 2010 vintage:

"20-year old vines on their own roots, unfined and unfiltered. This is mid-weight in style with an ethereal texture and a linear and lengthy palate. Subtle red cherry fruit, floral and mineral notes and a suggestion of spice." 5*****
