Performance

Understanding Bell Hill, Pinot Noir, Canterbury, Canterbury

Bell Hill is made from premium parcels situated in a location blessed with a microclimate ideal for Pinot Noir. The terroir is characterised by its rich, well-drained soils and a climate that provides a perfect balance of warm days and cool nights. These conditions are crucial in developing the grapes' depth of flavour and maintaining their natural acidity. The winemaking process includes fully destemmed fermentation using natural yeasts, techniques that enhance the wine's complexity and texture. Ageing in 100% new French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, imbues the wine with subtle woody and spicy undertones, beautifully complementing the intrinsic fruit flavours. Bell Hill Pinot Noir displays red and dark fruit, nuances of herb and floral notes in a rich, harmonious palate supported by silky tannins. This wine has remarkable ageing potential.
