Winemaking

ORIGIN

Leefield Station, Waihopai Valley, Marlborough.


VARIETY

Pinot Noir.


WINEMAKING

Leefield Station Pinot Noir was machine harvested, fully de-stemmed and gently crushed prior to pressing. The juice was settled for 2 – 3 days, then racked clean to stainless tanks. This was followed by a slow, cool fermentation with select yeast strains chosen for their ability to capture and enhance aromatic and flavour intensity. Following fermentation, individual tanks were blended. The blended wine then underwent a period of maturation on fine lees to allow the various components to integrate.

VINTAGE

Vintage 2024 will be remembered for being one Marlborough’s smaller vintages but also for producing exceptional fruit quality.


Despite a dry winter and resulting low ground moisture levels, full dams and positive river flows supplied essential soil moisture for the start of the growing season with budburst in mid-September.

Minimal frosts occurred, and though November and December were warm, below-average temperatures potentially contributed to the smaller vintage.

From December to February, temperatures rose sharply, accompanied by above-average sunshine and below-average rainfall, leading to drought concerns and an early start to harvest.


Perfect weather aided steady picking from February until mid-April, allowing fruit to be picked in perfect condition at peak ripeness, delivering consistent levels of concentration and complexity of flavour.
