{"product_id":"escarpment-kiwa-pinot-noir-nouvelle-zelande","title":"Escarpment - Kiwa Pinot Noir - 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated on the north bank of the Te Muna River, near Martinborough in the Wairarapa region, the Kiwa vineyard is one of the most renowned parcels of the Escarpment estate. Planted on ancient alluvial terraces, its vines benefit from deep, well-drained gravel soils combined with a cool, windy climate. This combination promotes slow grape maturation, preserving aromatic finesse and natural balance. The exposure and proximity to the river contribute to cool nights, essential for maintaining the freshness and purity of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for the Kiwa Pinot Noir cuvée are hand-harvested, partially destemmed, then gravity-fed into vats. Fermentation takes place in open-top fermenters with indigenous yeasts, including a variable proportion of whole bunches to preserve fruit purity and tannic structure. Regular manual punch-downs accompany the maceration. The wine is then transferred into French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, for an extended aging period aimed at refining the texture, developing aromatic complexity, and harmoniously integrating the oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblack cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eplum\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eraspberry\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhanced by floral touches of \u003cstrong\u003eviolet\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epeony\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as spicy nuances of \u003cstrong\u003esweet pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eclove\u003c\/strong\u003e.
