7th Heaven Pinot Noir 2017

$36.00 – $396.00

A gorgeous rich ruby in colour, the cherry and plum aromas of our 2017 Pinot Noir jump out as soon as you open the bottle.  On the palate, it is voluptuous, with dark fruits, pepper, spice and has a beautiful structure and weight.

Pair with charcuterie, roasted meats, grilled vegetables, game or even dark chocolate.

Buy a case (12 bottles) and only pay for 11 or try it alongside three other vintages in our Vertical Tasting Pack

Reviews

Sam Kim – Wine Orbit – 94 points/5 stars
Wonderfully ripe and enticing with dark cherry, plum, game, clove and hazelnut aromas, it’s succulent and sumptuous in the mouth offering richly textured mouthfeel backed by fine polished tannins. Delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2027.

Michael Cooper – NZ Wine Buyer’s Guide – 4 stars
The 2017 vintage (4*) is still fresh and vigorous. Medium to full-bodied, it is vibrantly fruity, with lively acidity and strong cherry, plum, herb and spice flavours. 4 stars. March 2022

Candice Chow – Raymond Chan Wine Reviews – 17/20 pts  (85pts)
Deep, ruby-red with depth, lighter on the rim. The nose is fragrant with aromas of sweet cherries, plums, interweaved vanilla and warm spice. Medium-full bodied, concentrated aromas of dark cherries and plums form a rich core, unveiling dark herbs, cinnamon and liquorice. Tight-knitted tannins lend a smooth palate, reflect the concentrated fruit and shape a rich core. Vibrant acidity provides freshness and length to a long, dry finish. This is a rich Pinot Noir with dense dark fruit and herb, and a tight-knitted tannin structure. 17/20 pts (85 pts). F

 

Winemaking

Our 2017 Pinot is proof that great wines start in the vineyard and the health of our vines really hit their stride for this vintage.

100% pinot noir grapes (clones 777, Abel, 115) were handpicked and blended together for fermentation. 30% of the fruit was left as whole bunches to create complexity and tannins.

The grapes were bag pressed and racked to French oak barrels, 15% being new oak, with a number of one and two year old barrels for an overall oak influence of around 30%.

In Spring a second natural malolactic fermentation took place before being racked and fined in February 2018.

Winemaker: Debra Cruickshank
pH: 3.80, TA: 9.75 g/L, RS: 0.5g/L, Alc: 12%
