Momo meaning 'offspring' in Maori. This vintage is a blend of fruit from three Marlborough vineyards with varying soil characteristics. The fruit for this wine was picked between March 28 and April 12 then de-stemmed and cooled before a pre-fermentation soaking period. After a natural fermentation in open-top fermenters the wine was transferred to French barriques to mature over a period of eleven months. It displays aromas of cherry, mocha, new leather and hints if spice. The palate is concentrated with succulent dark fruits layered over smoky oak and fine mouth-coating tannins. As far as food matching it would be delicious with most red meats, mushroom dishes, or hearty fish like Salmon. Terrific to drink now and has the potential to improve over the next five years. |
