Folium Pinot Noir 2020

Folium Vineyard is an 8 hectare organic estate located in the Brancott Valley of Marlborough. Founded by Takaki Okada in 2011, the vineyard is dedicated to producing premium Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir wines that authentically reflect the unique terroir of the region.

Folium Vineyard's commitment to organic farming, meticulous vineyard management, and traditional winemaking results in wines that authentically express the character of the Brancott Valley terroir. Their portfolio includes both ‘estate’ and ‘reserve’ selections of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, (with the ‘reserve’ wines using fruit from older vines planted in 1996 ) with each showcasing the vineyard's dedication to quality and sustainability. The wines are distinctively European in style, with vintage variation, and a subtlety that complements rather than overpowers food.

Hand-harvested from a single organically managed Marlborough site, the grapes were destemmed and fermented with wild yeasts in small open vats. Gentle plunging preserved delicate aromatics. The wine was aged in French oak (25% new) for 12 months before bottling, unfiltered, to retain vineyard character.
