Jackson Estate Vintage Widow is named in recognition for the families who are often forgotten at vintage as we strive to make the perfect Pinot Noir. Founded over two decades ago our philosophy remains the same; to handcraft wines using the best modern techniques, respect our vineyard sites, and maintain varietal integrity.
The grapes are handpicked from our oldest vines in our unirrigated, claybound Somerset and Gum Emperor vineyard blocks in Marlborough's southern valleys. Matured for ten months in 100% French oak barriques and showing concentrated red and black fruits overlaid with dried herbs, spice and cedar on the nose, with complex savoury and spice on the palate. The wine is rich, elegant and textural.
Each parcel was destemmed into small open tank fermenters retaining a substantial proportion of whole berries. Fermentation was carried out in both stainless tanks and French barrels by indigenous yeasts. Aged for 12 months in oak, the barrel batch was racked, assessed, and blended with the aged tank portion and prepared for bottle Mid-April.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Contains sulphites. Alcohol by volume 12.8%. Produced by Jackson Estate, located in New Zealand's Marlborough region.
