{"product_id":"elephant-hill-pinot-noir-nouvelle-zelande","title":"Elephant Hill - Pinot Noir - 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated on the east coast of the North Island, Elephant Hill stretches near Hawke's Bay, facing the Pacific Ocean, in a wine-growing region renowned for its temperate and sunny climate. The Pinot Noir vines benefit from refreshing maritime influences, varied soils combining gravel, silt, and clay, and a significant temperature difference between warm days and cooler nights. This environment allows for the gradual ripening of the grapes, preserving the aromatic freshness, fine texture, and natural balance of the estate's red wines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Pinot Noir grapes from Elephant Hill are hand-harvested, sorted, and destemmed before a cold pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation takes place in open vats with regular pump-overs and punch-downs to extract color and tannins, followed by post-fermentation maceration. The wine is then transferred to French oak barrels, a proportion of which are new, for extended aging to refine the structure and develop aromatic complexity before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003ered cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eraspberry\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eplum\u003c\/strong\u003e , enhanced by \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches reminiscent of peony and violet. \u003cstrong\u003eSpicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances of sweet pepper and clove mingle with subtle oak, with hints of \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e .
