SETTLEMENT Marlborough Pinot Noir 2021 Bottle ORG/VGN

Description

Settlement is a focused project dedicated to showcasing the diverse sub-regions of Marlborough, and their 2021 Pinot Noir is a brilliant example of a site-driven wine. Sourced from the clay-rich soils of the Southern Valleys, this vintage benefited from a long, even ripening period that resulted in fantastic concentration and a refined structure.

On the nose, it is wonderfully fragrant, offering bright notes of red cherry and wild raspberry alongside a subtle earthy undertone. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant, with silky tannins that provide a velvety mouthfeel. There is a fresh streak of acidity that keeps the fruit feeling vibrant and energetic through to a long, polished finish. It is a sophisticated and expressive red for those who appreciate finesse.
