At the time the market for Port was undergoing a profound change. Consumers were becoming more<br />knowledgeable and demanding in their choice of wine. No longer content with the simple young Ports that until then had accounted for much of consumption, they sought<br />more sophisticated and distinctive wines both to enjoy at home and when dining out.<br />

The winter of 2017 ended a five-year drought with January recording the most rainfall in over 20 years. The abundant rainfall continued into March, causing a modest delay in<br />budbreak, and pushing bloom back by two weeks. Increased soil moisture allowed for healthy vine growth and development. The summer, in turn, was warm and punctuated<br />by occasional heat waves. Despite Mother Nature's variability, favorable weather in August provided optimal conditions for fruit development and maturation. Superb flavors<br />and excellent ripening led to an earlier than expected harvest, which commenced on the 5th of September.<br /><br />The Opus One 2017 offers a harmonious aromatic balance of rich dark fruit, stems of roses, and earthy forest floor. The juicy entry offers a round, silky mouthfeel with just<br />enough acidity to complement the satin texture. This seductive wine shows flavors of black cassis, black cherry and a hint of cocoa powder. The fine-grained, plush tannins<br />evolve into a long, supple finish. A supremely age-worthy wine, it will delight now and for many years to come.<br /><br />Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon 80%, Petit Verdot 9%, Cabernet Franc 5%, Merlot 5% and Malbec 1%<br /><br />Skin Contact: 20 days<br /><br />Barrel Aging: 17 months in new French oak<br />

<br />The elegant Marlborough red<br /><br />A balanced and lively expression of Pinot Noir from the Marlborough region.<br /><br />The 2017 growing season began with ideal spring conditions; warm temperatures and few frost events encouraged good canopy growth. Settled weather over flowering led to<br />high potential crops, fruit thinning was widely employed to reduce yield and achieve optimum vine balance. Fastidious canopy management throughout the mild and sunny<br />growing season ensured fruit developed, then ripened, at an ideal rate. The excellent weather during the ripening season was interrupted by rain events during the harvest.<br />The single-minded quality focus of the viticulture and winemaking teams, with hour by hour assessment, led to optimum picking decisions. Our low-yielding, early-ripening<br />vineyards with their open canopies, stood us in good stead in what was a tricky vintage across Marlborough and New Zealand.<br /><br />Nose: Appealingly aromatic, the 2017 Pinot Noir reveals notes of Morello cherry and bramble.<br />Palate: Fine, silky tannins and juicy acidity provide an elegant structure, with complexity coming from gentle toast and.<br /><br />Harvest:<br />We hand-picked the Pinot Noir from March 24th until April 11th, at a point of excellent flavour concentration and acid balance.<br />Vinification: The Pinot Noir fruit was all de-stemmed before being gravity fed into the open topped fermentation vessels. The grape skins were gently plunged with an average<br />of 18 days skin contact. After fermentation the wines were matured in French oak for 11 months, of which 35% was new. Final analysis of our 2017 Pinot Noir shows a pH of<br />3.57, TA of 5.74 g/L and an alcohol of 13.4%.<br />Alcohol 13.4 %;<br />Vintage 2017;<br />pH 3.57;<br />Varietal Pinot Noir;<br />Harvest Friday, March 24, 2017 to Tuesday, April 11, 2017;<br />Residual sugar 2.0 g/L;<br />Acid 5.7 g/L;<br />Closure Screwcap.<br />
