Little Beauty Limited Edition Pinot Noir 2018
A Stunning Limited Edition from Marlborough
Little Beauty Limited Edition Pinot Noir 2018 is a rare and captivating expression of Marlborough’s terroir. Only a small number of bottles were produced, making this wine a genuine collector’s piece. It delivers a refined, luxurious experience from the very first pour.
Elegant Aroma and Complex Flavor
This Pinot Noir opens with an intensely aromatic bouquet. You’ll notice notes of raspberry, dark plum, and black cherry, alongside subtle hints of violets and mocha. The nose is rich and layered, with herbal nuances that add intrigue. On the palate, it’s smooth and silky, with soft tannins and excellent structure. Expect smoky barrel notes, baked cherry pie, and touches of boysenberry and blackberry. A syrupy texture and balanced acidity make it unforgettable.
Crafted with Precision and Care
The 2018 vintage was harvested from three distinct vineyard blocks. Soils ranged from fine clay silt to blocky clay loam, some containing substantial stone. These diverse conditions help create a wine with true varietal expression. The vines follow a Vertical Shoot Positioning and Double Guyot system, oriented North-South for optimal sun exposure.
Harvesting was done with care over multiple passes to ensure only the ripest grapes were selected. This attention to detail preserves the wine’s integrity and showcases its natural charm.
Traditional Winemaking, Modern Excellence
In the winery, the fruit was 100% de-stemmed and cold-soaked before fermentation began with wild yeasts. Each batch was plunged by hand three times daily, gently extracting color and tannin. A post-fermentation maceration helped deepen flavor and mouthfeel. After pressing, the wine was aged for 11 months in French oak barriques, enhancing complexity and structure.
Perfect for Collectors and Pinot Lovers
With only limited quantities available, Little Beauty Pinot Noir 2018 is a must-have for Pinot lovers and collectors. Its refined character and premium craftsmanship have earned it a place at The Savoy Hotel’s Beaufort Bar in London — a testament to its excellence.
