Silhouette Pinot Noir

Silhouette Pinot Noir offers aromas of black cherry and mulberry combined with rich herbal notes and cinnamon spice. On the palate, you'll find medium-bodied fruit flavours framed by soft, supple tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish lingers with fruit and gentle herbal character, creating an approachable yet complex drinking experience.

This is a New Zealand Pinot Noir from the 2023 vintage, which was characterized by warm conditions that produced generous, supple reds balanced by fresh acidity. The growing season was excellent overall, yielding wines with well-developed flavours and youthful fruit expression that showcase the quality potential of New Zealand viticulture.

Silhouette Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast chicken, wild mushroom dishes, and duck breast, as the wine's medium body and fresh acidity complement rich poultry and earthy flavours. Soft cheeses like brie and camembert also make excellent companions, with the wine's supple tannins and fruit character balancing creamy textures perfectly.

The herbal notes and black cherry character in Silhouette Pinot Noir make it versatile with herb-crusted meats, mushroom risotto, and grilled salmon. The wine's balanced acidity and medium body also work wonderfully with charcuterie boards featuring pâté and cured meats.

Serve Silhouette Pinot Noir at 14–16°C, which is slightly cooler than typical room temperature. This serving temperature allows the aromatic complexity of black cherry, mulberry, and spice to develop fully while maintaining the wine's fresh acidity and supple tannin structure. Use a medium-sized wine glass for optimal enjoyment.
