Extraction was carefully managed to preserve purity and texture, and the wine was matured in French oak barrels, including a proportion of new oak, to build depth and harmony without overshadowing the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1677\"\u003eThe wine opens with deep aromas of dark cherry, black raspberry, and plum, layered with notes of spice, dried herbs, forest floor, and subtle earthy nuance. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, dense yet poised, with finely grained tannins, bright acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish that reflects the vineyard’s elevated site and pedigree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1679\" data-end=\"1911\"\u003eStill youthful and tightly structured, the 2019 Craggy Range Aroha Pinot Noir benefits from decanting if enjoyed now and will reward extended cellaring over 15–25+ years, developing further savoury complexity and tertiary character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1913\" data-end=\"2033\"\u003eA truly iconic Martinborough Pinot Noir and a cornerstone bottle for collectors seeking depth, precision, and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52884617429355,"sku":"SK41275526","price":168.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2019_Craggy_Range_Aroha_Pinot_Noir_750ml.png?v=1780389390","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2019-craggy-range-aroha-pinot-noir-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
