Invivo X, SJP Pinot Noir 2024 - Tech Sheet

<!-- image --> ## Pinot Noir 2024 ## B A C K G R O U N D Invivo X, by Sarah Jessica Parker is created with New Zealand-based Invivo Wines, in what Parker describes as a very collaborative process. The collaboration covers every aspect of the new wine, from naming and label design to the winemaking itself. Invivo winemaker Rob Cameron explains: 'This wine is 100% Sarah Jessica Parker. So other than selecting the base wine from New Zealand, I take a back seat and let her create the blends. "Sarah Jessica's rst ever wine was perfected in May 2019 when Invivo founders Tim Lightbourne and Rob Cameron traveled to New York City to create her new Sauvignon Blanc. ## T E R R O I R &amp; V I N T A G E N O T E S Invivo X, SJP Pinot Noir is from the famed clays of Marlborough's Southern Valleys, with a dash of Awatere River drama. Our Wairau Southern Valley block is a steep, north-facing vineyard of silt loam over clay. The Awatere Valley block is close to seaview and right on the elevated banks of the Awatere River, with soils offering a ne loam with modest gravel and a cool climate. ## WINE M A KI N G &amp; A G I N G Hand-harvested fruit was de-stemmed into small open fermenters and left to coldsoak for around 7-10 days until the musts warmed enough for indigenous yeasts to initiate fermentation. The small parcels were then hand-plunged three times daily and left on skins for up to three weeks post-fermentation. The lightly-pressed young wines were then transferred under gravity to new (35%) and seasoned French oak barriques (65%) for eleven months. The wine was left to undergo malolactic fermentation in the last months of 2023, blending early 2024. ## TA S T I N G N O T E S Deep ruby red in colour with aromas of black cherries, subtle coffee creme, redcurrants and dark plums. The palate is intense and immediately mouth-lling with sweet plums and toasty notes. Elegant and powerful, the wine displays ne tannins but with great acidity that gives the wine freshness. Charming and extremely enjoyable now and will age in the bottle well for years to come. 750ML <!-- image --> <!-- image --> <!-- image --> <!-- image --> 750ML <!-- image --> 750ML <!-- image --> <!-- image --> <!-- image --> ## ORIGIN Marlborough, Marlborough, New Zealand ## GRA P E VA R I E T I E S 100% Pinot Noir S I Z E S 750ml ## T E C H N I C A L D E T A I L S ABV: 13%, TA: 6.1, RS: 2.5, Ph: 3.45, Closure: Screw Cap WINE M A KE R Rob Cameron C E R T I F I C A T E S On-Label Eco Cert <!-- image -->
