Crafted by Escarpment Vineyard, founded in 1998 by Larry and Sue McKenna, Robert and Mem Kirby in Martinborough, the 2022 Pinot Noir is a pure Pinot Noir sourced from premium vineyards across the district, with 75% from the Te Muna Road subregion. These sites, located at elevations of 50-150 meters, feature alluvial gravel soils that impart elegance and structure. Hand-harvested grapes are fermented with 24% whole clusters in open-top fermenters, with minimal intervention and daily plunging for gentle extraction, followed by 11 months of aging in French oak barriques (27% new) and 9 months in stainless steel before bottling without fining or filtration. This sustainable approach captures the 2022 vintage’s balance of ripe fruit and freshness, resulting in a wine that reflects Martinborough’s cool-climate terroir and Escarpment’s Burgundian-inspired philosophy.

Tasting Notes

This Pinot Noir displays a bright ruby hue with aromas of cherry, raspberry, and red fruit, accented by fresh earth, orange rind, and bay leaf. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and juicy, offering flavors of red berries, cedar, and subtle spice, supported by powdery tannins, bright acidity, and a long, savory finish.

Awards and Accolades

The 2022 Escarpment Pinot Noir earned 92 points from Bob Campbell MW for its accessible, firmly structured profile with cedar, vanilla, floral, and red berry flavors. It also received 88 points for its spicy, red-fruited nose and silky palate, and an average of 88.5 points from community reviews for its elegant, perfumed character.

Serving and Cellaring

Serve at 16°C after one hour of decanting to enhance its aromatic complexity. Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit or cellar until 2030 to develop deeper earthy and spicy nuances. A refined expression of Martinborough’s Pinot Noir heritage.
