Overview
The Maude Kids Block Pinot Noir is a masterful expression of the Mt Maude Vineyard, family-owned and operated since 1994. This wine showcases the unique qualities of the "Kids Block," a site that captures the essence of Central Otago’s cool-climate conditions. The vintage was a challenging one, with late frosts and variable weather throughout the growing season, but the patience and care taken in the vineyard have resulted in a wine that speaks of its origins with clarity and depth. The wine reflects the character of its terroir, with a complexity that promises longevity.
Tasting Notes
The Kids Block Pinot Noir is beautifully aromatic, with violets, dark cherry, and bramble fruit intertwined with earthy notes of forest floor and dried herbs. It is medium to full-bodied, with layers of rich dark fruit flavours complemented by dried spices of clove and cinnamon. The fine tannins create a structural, sinewy backbone that lends the wine both power and finesse. The depth of flavour and complexity make this a wine that will evolve beautifully with time, revealing more of its layered character with every sip.
