Jackson Estate is a special place, a testament to the vision and determination of the Stichbury and Jackson families who have farmed on the Wairu River plain at Jacksons Road for more than 160 years. Since planting our first Pinot Noir vineyards two decades ago, time, tide and fortune have smiled on Jackson Estate, and the unparalleled affinity between Marlborough and fine winemaking has been spectacularly realised. The acclaim Jackson Estate Pinot Noir generates is based entirely on the merit of our mature, cool climate vineyards.Named for the Gum Emperor moth Opodiphthera eucalypti that makes its home on the edge of our vineyards, this wine was hand-crafted from a single vineyard site. The fruit from our Gum Emperor vineyard consistently produces a Pinot Noir that is rich and intensely flavoured, a true expression of the vineyards heavy clay soils. Darker brooding aromatics are lifted by higher notes of violets, black currents and spice. Flavours of black plums, liquorice and earthy forest floor tones combine to form a truly complex wine. With careful cellaring this wine will develop further opulent layers of savoury and spice notes that will be complemented by velvet mouth-filling tannins. The Jackson Estate Gum Emperor Pinot Noir is idiosyncratically New Zealand in style; true to vineyard, region and variety.

History
Jackson Estate embodies the very best of Marlborough, New Zealand, the essence of fine wine. Jackson Estate is a special place, a testament to the vision and determination of the Stichbury and Jackson families who have farmed the land on the Wairau River plains at Jacksons Road for more than 160 years.
Regional Information
The acclaim Jackson Estate generates is based on the merit of its soils, mature, cool climate vineyards and wine making style. High sunshine hours maximise fruit concentration; a long, dry growing season enables aroma accumulation and even ripening. Cool nights retain high acidity in the grapes, allowing the wines to age well. This wine is an expression of our beloved Pinot Noir. It is idiosyncratically New Zealand in style: true to vineyard, region and variety.

Vinification Details
Each parcel of handpicked fruit was gently destemmed into small open top fermenters. A pre-fermentation soak averaging 5 days preceded a warm and rapid indigenous fermentation. Post primary fermentation the young wine spent 16 days on skins totaling 33 days before being pressed to a mixture of new and older French oak barrels for maturation. Each batch was gently removed from barrel, tasted and assessed before blending and preparation for bottling. 10 months maturation in 100% French oak barrels.
