Blackenbrook Pinot Blanc 2021

Blackenbrook Pinot Blanc 2021
Our Pinot Blanc 2021 is packed with white peach, jasmine and spice flavours. It’s multi-layered with an incredible texture beautifully complemented by a touch of sweetness and a juicy acidity.
It’s our Moutere clay soils, the dazzling Nelson sun and the finger prints of our team that make our wines unique. We hope you’ll enjoy.
Reviews
5 Stars Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
The nose is softly full, filled the glass with aromas of apple, pear, citrus and a white flower bouquet.
Medium-bodied, brilliant concentration on the palate, fronting apple, grapefruit zest aromas and a layer of delicate pink peppercorn. The mouthfeel is oily, almost unctuous, elegantly carries the spice throughout the palate with the support of mouthwatering acidity.
The fruit had excellent concentration, filled the palate with weight and depth of flavour. This is an excellent example of Pinot Blanc with a concentrated varietal character and a lush mouthfeel.
