Chard Farm 'Mata Au' Pinot Noir 2018
Chard Farm
Chard Farm make wines that are complex and interesting, textural and elegant, wine that shows good fruit/acid balance and genuine flavour length.
Central Otago has some of the best cool climate grapes to be found anywhere. The grapes are always very clean and display vivid and expressive flavours. The natural cool climate acid in the juice keeps the flavours pure and bright.
Central Otago has mineral soils. All the soils in Central Otago are based on schist rock and quartz that contain very little organic matter (actual dirt). The vines are literally growing in a bed of minerals. This is important in the final product because it is the presence of these minerals that will give the wine the sought after expressive and long flavour length.

Floral and herbal is the first impression in the glass before an alluring perfume of aromatic red berry fruit and mineral undertones develops. There is a generous palate of fine tannins, and the pure red fruit and savory notes are long and sustained. The finish is all about subtle power and precision.
Our Mata-Au vineyards are located in the Lowburn and Parkburn areas of the Cromwell basin. The vineyards are planted on the terraces and alluvial schist based soils formed by the Mata-Au (Clutha) River (pronounced – martar-o). The unique combination of site, soil and mild continental climate produces perfumed wines with elegant texture, structure and mineral length. It is made from the best blocks in our best vineyards in the Lowburn/Parkburn sub-region. Mata-Au showcases the succulent red fruits and silky tannins that are the hallmarks of this sub-region, delivered in our elegant, textural and length driven style.
