Dashwood Pinot Noir

Dashwood Pinot Noir delivers vibrant red fruit flavours including dark cherry, plum, blackberry and wild strawberry. The palate is generous and juicy with medium body, bright acidity and soft tannins. Expect a fresh, direct character with hints of spice and a clean, fruit-driven finish.

This Pinot Noir is produced in Marlborough, New Zealand by Foley Family Wines. Marlborough is best known for Sauvignon Blanc but also produces quality Pinot Noir with bright fruit character. The wine has an ABV of 13.5% and displays the region's signature fresh, elegant style.

This wine pairs beautifully with roasted duck, salmon, mushroom pasta and soft cheeses. The bright acidity and medium body also make it suitable for charcuterie, roast chicken and lighter meat dishes. The fruit-forward character complements both rich and delicate flavours without overwhelming them.

Dashwood Pinot Noir works particularly well with dishes that balance richness and freshness, such as salmon with herb butter, duck breast with cherry sauce, or wild mushroom risotto. The soft tannins and bright acidity also make it an excellent match for aged brie or camembert.

Serve Dashwood Pinot Noir lightly chilled at around 14-16u00b0C to highlight the fresh fruit character and enhance drinkability. This is slightly cooler than room temperature but warmer than fridge temperature. No decanting is necessary, though the wine will benefit from a few minutes in the glass to open up.
