The Nutcracker range of wines from leading Marlborough estate, Walnut Block, are their top-end releases. Yields are super small and only the best hand-picked, flavour-laden berries make it from the vines into the bottle. Wonderfully fresh, clean, aromatic and layered with plenty of fruit. It has a delightful, satiny texture and the boysenberries, twigs, sour cherries and (subtle) spicy oak flavours ripple over your tastebuds. A great wine for roast lamb shoulder, grilled lamb chops or a homemade kofte kebab.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Gordon Ritchie
Walnut Block is the vision of two brothers - Clyde and Nigel Sowman. The name was inspired by Marlborough's oldest walnut tree that sits in the heart of their vineyards. In combining their experience in viticulture and the wine industry with their passion for and appreciation of fine wine, they have created a unique range of superbly crafted Marlborough wines.
"Powerful yet elegant, this Pinot Noir displays aromas of dark cherry, floral, and a hint of spicy oak. Wild yeast fermentation has created a wonderful array of savoury characters and underlying earthy tones. The silky palate shows rich red fruit flavours, savouriness and well integrated oak. Gentle acidity and fine tannins give this wine great balance and structure promising longevity. Cellaring potential - will mature gracefully over the next 8 years revealed on a richly texture palate. Fine acidity gives the wine beautiful balance and length." - Gordon Ritchie, Winemaker.
