Tasting notes
The Kin Pinot Noir 2023 from the Winery Te Kano is a expressive and multifaceted red wine that reflects the distinctive terroir of Central Otago.
In the nose, seductive aromas of ripe cherries, black currant, and plum unfold, complemented by subtle notes of dried herbs and a fine spiciness. On the palate, the wine reveals smooth tannins and a balanced structure, leading into a long and elegant finish.
The grapes come from various subregions of Central Otago, including Bannockburn, Waitaki, and Northburn. The individual batches were handpicked and fermented separately in open fermentation vessels before being gently matured.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
