Description

Escarpment is a winery located in Martinborough, New Zealand, renowned for its production of Pinot Noir. Founded in 1998 by Larry McKenna, the winery has become a leader in the region for producing high-quality, award-winning wines.

The winery is situated on the Martinborough Terrace, a unique geological formation that provides the perfect environment for growing Pinot Noir. The soils are composed of ancient river stones, which provide excellent drainage and allow the vines to thrive. The climate is also ideal for growing Pinot Noir, with warm days and cool nights that allow the grapes to ripen slowly and develop intense flavours.

Escarpment’s Pinot Noir is made using traditional winemaking techniques, such as hand-picking and open-top fermentation. The wines are aged in French oak barrels for 12-18 months, allowing the flavours to develop and the tannins to soften. The result is a complex and elegant Pinot Noir with aromas of dark fruits, spices, and earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-balanced, with a long finish.

Escarpment’s Pinot Noir has been recognised with numerous awards, including gold medals at the International Wine Challenge and Decanter World Wine Awards. The winery has also been praised for its commitment to sustainability, with a focus on reducing its environmental impact.

If you’re looking for a high-quality Pinot Noir, Escarpment is the perfect choice. With its unique terroir and traditional winemaking techniques, Escarpment produces wines that are sure to please even the most discerning of palates.

Tasting notes

90 Points - The wine Advocate

Deep black cherry, plum and cola notes appear on the nose of Escarpment's 2019 Pinot Noir, a blend of several different sites around the village of Martinborough. Medium to full-bodied, plush and velvety, with a layered, richly textured finish, it's a solid offering that should drink well over the next decade.
