Sourced from premium New Zealand vineyards, this Pinot Noir showcases the bright, fruit-forward style the country does so well. At 13.5% ABV, it offers balance and drinkability without sacrificing varietal character.
Nose: Enticing aromas of fresh cranberry and ripe raspberry lead, followed by cherry notes and a hint of wild thyme. Subtle floral and herbal layers add complexity, with delicate mint and baked sage nuances emerging as the wine opens.
Palate: The entry is weighty yet seamless, with juicy strawberry and pink florals flowing into savoury characters. Bright acidity keeps the fruit vibrant, while soft orange zest and pepper spice add dimension to the light-to-medium body.
Finish: Clean and elegant, with lingering red berry notes and a delicate mint quality that provides a refreshing conclusion. The savoury edge adds interest without overwhelming the fruit.
Pair this Pinot Noir with roasted duck, grilled salmon, or Gruyère cheese for a classic match that showcases the wine’s bright acidity and silky texture.
Serve lightly chilled at 14-16°C in a Burgundy glass to highlight the aromatic complexity and fruit purity.
An excellent everyday pour for Pinot lovers seeking quality at an accessible price point, or a thoughtful gift for wine enthusiasts exploring New Zealand’s red wine offerings.
