Both grape growing and wine making have elements of beauty and chaos embedded within. A natural progression was to embrace a little more chaos and beauty within these two related cultures. Therefore the name Beautiful Chaos seemed appropriate for these wines. They are different from any other wines we make. Despite this, they are very much a part of our evolving culture.’ Organic and Biodynamic Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans - Michael Seresin Tasting Notes If one was ever to wonder what wholly pure, transparent Pinot Noir tasted like from our Raupo vineyard slope named Osip, this is certainly it. Single site, single plot, single clone has been hand harvested and crafted in amphora, preserving the true character of Pinot Noir. Layered, vibrant and concentrated. The only ingredient here is the grape itself. This wine has been bottle unfiltered and unfined. Winemaking The Pinot Noir was handpicked on March 8th, our first pick of the season. The fruit was fermented as two batches – the first, destemmed and fermented in amphorae. The second – fermented carbonically as whole bunches. After 28 days on skins, and daily plunging by hand, both batches were gently pressed together and put back into the amphorae and three neutral barriques for aging for three months. It was bottled without any stabilisation, fining, filtration or added sulphur. Vintage The season commenced with a stunningly dry winter, ensuring no interruptions to our pruning and enabling an early budburst across the board. Spring is remembered for strong winds, and, although the fine weather remained in general, a few significant rain events kept the soil moisture levels decent and the vine growth fresh. The conditions over the whole vintage period were extremely favourable, textbook Marlborough in fact, with warm days and cool nights. We commenced harvest early on March 8th for our Beautiful Chaos Pinot Noir, and continued slowly yet rigorously, until our final pick, for Beautiful Chaos Syrah, on April 8th. Viticulture Our clay rich Raupo Creek vineyard, farmed following organic and biodynamic principles is located in the centre of the Omaka Valley. […]
