The resulting wines are \u2018an accurate reflection of the district\u2019s unique terroir\u2019 according to the iconic producer. I kick off with their excellent, under-rated Chardonnay and then dive into a trip through the different personality of the Pinots.<\/p><p><b>Escarpment Martinborough Chardonnay 2021\u00a0<\/b>With most of the fruit coming from the Home Block on Te Muna Road on the Martinborough Terraces, this is a wine where the style has evolved in the last few years &#8211; a move away from the flinty reductivity that was in vogue a few years back, and showing more elegance and balance. There is still an element of that minerally struck-match note to the nose, but tempered by a plush peach, lemon peel, cashew nut, grapefruit and gingery spices. That opulent aroma sets the tone for the palate, with some really bright and clean acidity giving real line and crispness &#8211; for a wine with real succulence, this has terrific flow. <b>93pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-20dac03 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"20dac03\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bf4ca89\" data-id=\"bf4ca89\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ce3ba8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0ce3ba8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"980\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Chardonnay-21v-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8962\" alt=\"Escarpment Chardonnay\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Chardonnay-21v-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Chardonnay-21v-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Chardonnay-21v.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d3646d9\" data-id=\"d3646d9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd71733 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bd71733\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"980\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pnoir-21-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8965\" alt=\"Escarpment Pinot\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pnoir-21-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pnoir-21-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pnoir-21.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c27773f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c27773f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dce2954\" data-id=\"dce2954\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4ab0dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c4ab0dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Escarpment Martinborough Pinot Noir 2021\u00a0<\/b>A collection of fruit from across the best of Martinborough\u2019s vineyards &#8211; 60% of it from Te Muna Road specifically.

Perhaps the most graceful of the single vineyard expressions, with waves of juicy acidity and walking a tightrope where the balance of ripeness, savoury character, firm tannin and spicy oak all merge into an elegant harmony. This can sometimes take time to deliver, and whilst the 2021 wine has plenty of tense energy, the focus is already set.

Diversity in planting material and the alluvial loams lead to a wine in the glass that is classic \u2018old school\u2019 Martinborough. Quite dense and dark, with black cherry, cassis, damson and five spice on the nose. The brooding nature continues into the palate &#8211; quite robust and generous. Tannin has a firm grip and the spice is quite defined &#8211; the two combining to black tea, tapenade and crushed bay notes.
