Tasting Notes:

Roaring Meg Pinot Noir 2022 features red, blue and black berry fruit aromatics typical of a warmer vintage. The palate is harmonious with rich dark berries and a savoury line underneath. A hint of spice and dried thyme complement the succulent fruit. Fine tannins frame the wine with a great flow and finish.

Technical:

The 2022 season swung the pendulum again for Central Otago. This season was characterised by a very warm summer, punctuated by vital rain events, culminating in a bumper crop that was harvested 1-2 weeks ahead of long term average. The benign, warm flowering conditions in December resulted in excellent fruit set and healthy canopies that galloped through a dry January. They were replenished by rain in February before harvest began in mid-March and was wrapped up by mid-April.
The majority of the fruit was de-stemmed to enhance the natural fruit characters of Pinot Noir from the Cromwell Basin. The grapes stayed in the fermenter on average for a total of 25 days, with temperatures peaking at 28 - 30°C. The wine was plunged once daily both during pre-fermentation and during fermentation. Post-fermentation the wine was left to extract with no further punch downs. Once tannins were balanced it was pressed off to French oak where it resided on lees for 10 months. It underwent malolactic fermentation during early spring, was racked out of barrel in early-summer with filtration, but no fining, prior to bottling.Vegan friendly

Accolades & Awards:

93 Point Rated - James Suckling Tasting Report 2024

"A pinot with dried strawberry, white pepper and slate character. Medium-bodied with firm tannins. Very spicy at the end. Drink now. Screw cap."

90 Point Rated - Stephen Wong

"Floral over brooding dark fruit. A bit grippy at this stage. Some floral perfume on the palate. Mid-weight but brooding. Fairly concentrated for near-term enjoyment."

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

"The 2022 Roaring Meg Pinot Noir is a blend of three Central Otago regions (in roughly equal parts): Bannockburn, Bendigo and Pisa. Everything under 10 years of vine age gets sent to Roaring Meg. In the mouth, the wine is uncomplicated and red fruit driven, with flesh and spice. This is juicy and bright. It was 50/50 hand and machine picked. Winemaking included wild ferments, occasional pump-overs and maturation in barrique for 10 months. "The scale is bigger," says Winemaker Greg Lane, "but there are no corners cut." 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."
