Named in honour of co-owner Sabine Marquis, this micro-lot bottling represents a highly deliberate, parcel-by-parcel selection of the finest blocks and clones on the property. The 2022 growing season in Central Otago delivered optimal ripening conditions, balancing warm daytime temperatures with cool alpine nights to build remarkable aromatic depth and pristine natural acidity. Crafted under the guidance of renowned winemaker Ted Lemon alongside estate director Marquis Sauvage, the vineyard operates with strict biodynamic practices to express the authentic terroir of Central Otago's high-country soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the winery, the hand-harvested fruit was fermented naturally using indigenous yeasts,incorporating a proportion of whole clusters to lend structural complexity and spicy aromatic lift. The wine was matured gently in French oak barriques to seamlessly integrate its fine-grained tannin profile while preserving bright, pure red fruit expression. The palate is intensely layered and refined, featuring vibrant dark cherry, wild red berries, crushed herbs, and subtle forest floor nuances supported by supple, silky tannins. Built with exceptional focus and tension, this limited-production release offers immediate elegance alongside brilliant cellaring potential over the next decade. It pairs exceptionally well with roasted duck breast, rack of lamb, wild mushroom risotto, or seared tuna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Aromatic, perfumed and complex\u003cbr\u003eRipe red cherry, wild raspberry, dried herbs, violet floral lift, subtle exotic spice, and damp forest floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Silky, vibrant and structured\u003cbr\u003eIntense red berry and dark plum fruit balanced by fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity, and a savoury mineral undercurrent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, persistent and refined\u003cbr\u003eExtended lingering red fruit, dried thyme, subtle clove spice, and a clean, silky structural finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This is an extraordinary Pinot Noir that effortlessly balances power with finesse. Enticing aromas of dark cherry, wild strawberry, and crushed thyme lead into a palate of profound depth, framed by silky, fine-grained tannins and vibrant natural acidity. The finish is remarkably persistent, leaving lingering traces of red fruit and subtle savoury spice.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Bob Campbell MW, Real Review, 97 Points\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Very silky and elegant with beautifully detailed, perfumed rosehip and strawberry coulis flavours gently held in a nest of almost seamless, chalk-like tannins. Quiet and contemplative but exceptionally long and finely balanced, this is the antithesis of big, plush pinot. Not a hair out of place, the finish goes on and on, eventually settling into notes of cumin, black olive, cocoa and almond cream. A masterclass in refinement and barely showing its age, this will unfold slowly over the coming decade and beyond.\" ”\u003c\/em\u003e — Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, 97 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A gorgeously fragrant and detailed Pinot Noir, showcasing pure raspberry, floral violet tones, and underlying earthiness.
