The Te Mata Alma Pinot Noir goes wonderfully with game and wild fowl. Try it with roast duck or goose with napkin dumplings and blue cabbage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Te Mata Alma Pinot Noir celebrates Dr. James Thomson, a hero of the Battle of Alma in 1854 during the Crimean War and ancestor of the Buck family of Te Mata Estate. Knowing that the defeated enemy soldiers had already contracted cholera, Dr. Thomson volunteered to treat their wounds, saving the lives of more than four hundred soldiers, sacrificing his own in the process. The medal awarded to him for this selfless act of bravery appears on the label of Alma Pinot Noir. The individual batches of grapes were each destemmed and received a traditional, warm mash fermentation. The resulting musts underwent prolonged maceration on the shells before being pressed. The individual wines were then matured for 11 months in a mix of new and used French oak barrels.<\/p>\n

The Te Mata Alma Pinot Noir has a tantalizing nose of pomegranate, raspberry and black cherry syrup. Mineral and spicy notes of orange peel, peppercorns and sage glide over a velvety surface of dark, fine tannin and lush, ripe fruit. This red wine is very well structured and balanced. Its depth is balanced by a persistent fruit acid tension, which gives the wine a dancing lightness, energy and grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[3845,3846,3858,3866,3870,4137,4139,4141,4161,4184,4189,4191],"product_tag":[4055,3928,4016,4069,4086,4106,4128],"class_list":["post-7479","product","type-product","status-publish","product_cat-wines","product_cat-red-grape-varieties","product_cat-pinot-noir-en","product_cat-wine-type","product_cat-red-wines","product_cat-wine-style","product_cat-fruity-fresh","product_cat-savory-spicy","product_cat-wine-origin","product_cat-new-zealand","product_cat-hawkes-bay-en","product_cat-te-mata-estate-en","product_tag-new-zealand","product_tag-alma-en","product_tag-hawkes-bay-en","product_tag-pinot-noir-en","product_tag-red-wines","product_tag-te-mata-estate-en","product_tag-wines","pa_alkoholgehalt-13-5-en","pa_allergenhinweis-contains-sulphites","pa_anbau-bewirtschaftung-conventional","pa_ausbau-in-barrique-barrel","pa_dekantieren-empfohlen-yes","pa_empfohlenes-glas-burgundy-glass","pa_geschmack-dry","pa_jahrgang-2019-en","pa_lebensmittelunternehmer-wine-in-motion-gmbh-kellerweg-4-84494-neumarkt-sankt-veit-deutschland-en","pa_nettofuellmenge-0-75-en","pa_rebsorten-pinot-noir-en","pa_reifepotential-until-2026","pa_restzucker-1-1-en","pa_saeure-4-7-en","pa_trinkreife-from-now","pa_trinktemperatur-16-18-en","pa_vegan-produziert-yes","pa_verpackungseinheit-6-en","pa_verschlussart-diam-cork","pa_weingut-te-mata-estate-en","pa_weinland-new-zealand","pa_weinregion-hawkes-bay-en","pa_weinstil-hearty-spicy","pa_weinstil-fruity-fresh","pa_weintyp-red-wine","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
