Marimar Estate ‘Mas Cavalls’ Pinot Noir is a lush, rich Californian red wine with a distinctive earthy note.

Called Mas Cavalls after the Catalan name for Horse Farm, since Torres’s equestrian centre lies right below the vineyard. Named after the late matriarch of the Torres family, this 20-acre vineyard is located on the Bohemian Highway, between Freestone and Occidental, in the Sonoma Coast appellation of origin. The cool breezes and drifting fog from the Pacific Ocean, six miles away, make it an ideal site for Pinot Noir. Planted in the European style of super-high density, with 2,340 vines per acre, the yields are low and labour is intensive, but the grapes display beautifully concentrated flavour.

Harvest took place in September and after minimal crushing, the grapes fermented in stainless steel with our indigenous yeast. The wine was aged in French oak barrels, 33% of which was new.

This is a wonderfully expressive example of Californian Pinot Noir. It boasts ripe, juicy red fruits and earthy mineral nuances with great concentration and elegance. The firm and well-integrated tannins promise a long life; this wine will continue to develop for at least 10-15 years. This is a very fine wine from a family with centuries of expertise.

Enjoy Marimar Estate ‘Mas Cavalls’ Pinot Noir alongside roasted meats, mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses.
