Merlot grapes are destemmed and crushed into fermentation vessels. Fruit is pumped over and plunged several times daily for optimal extraction rich of colour, flavour and and just the right amount of gentle, soft tannins. Following the press and completion of malolactic, a component is transferred to a selection of seasoned French and American oak barriques for a year's maturation. Free range organic egg whites are employed to naturally soften the wine's tannins prior to filtration into bottle.

The approach here to Pinot Noir is essentially traditional, with gentle handling and extraction from harvest right through to bottling. Waimea Estate were one of the first in New Zealand to use new technologies such as micro-oxygenation, ganimede fermenters and cross-flow filtration. Modern winemaking techniques create a synergy with those of the old world. From a selection of burgundian Pinot Noir clones including 114, 115, and 667 and 777 grown to the Packhouse vineyard on the stony loam soils of the Waimea Plains.

$2599each $311DOZEN EACH DOZEN After destemming without crushing, the musts were chilled to 10C for a period of five days before fermentation to enhance aroma and colour. Fruit from the different vineyard blocks was fermented separately and inoculated with specialised Burgundian yeasts. The ferments were then carefully hand plunged or pumped over twice daily, temperatures peaking at 30-32C. At dryness, the wines were allowed to soak further on the skins until the optimum balance between structure and flavour was achieved. The wine was then pressed off its skins, and after a short settling time, racked off gross yeast lees into premium oak barrels to undergo natural malolactic fermentation and to complete oak maturation.
