BramsRun

This Pinot Noir comes from the rugged and beautiful Central Otago and truly refects the terroir of the region.The grapes were hand harvested early morning to capture maximum flavour and fermented in small vats with frequent hand plunging. It was then aged in french oak for 10 months to gain extra complexity and textural elegance. The palate is rich, succulent and full of freshly picked plums and cherries with hints of savoury wild herbs.

This Pinot Gris was harvested in the early morning to capture maximum freshness. It comes from the alluvial river plains of the Wairau Valley where we get mouthwatering flavours of pear, baked apple,ripe stonefruit and a hint of spice. A very long cool fermentation has accentuated the aromatics of the wine, with three months on fine lees to add a little texture and complexity.

BramsRun Sauvignon Blanc was harvested early morning to capture maximum freshness. It comes mainly from the Wairau Valley, where we get striking gooseberry and passion fruit flavours in Sauvignon. We also blended in some Awatere fruit for its mineral notes and freshness. A very long, cool fermentation has accentuated the aromatics of the wine, with three months resting on light yeast lees to add texture and complexity.
