Tasting note

Food-friendly and a super value, this refreshing, cool-climate Pinot Noir from New Zealand offers classic flavours of black cherry and raspberry with earthy notes. Shines with a range of foods, such as pulled pork sandwiches, roasted chicken or salmon ceviche.

Purple and crimson colour with aromas of black cherries, red currants, integrated oak and a smoky bacon character. The palate is a nice combination of dark cherries and red fruit underscored with a hint of oak and firm tannins. Persists well.

COLOUR Medium red colour. AROMA Bright fruit aromas of fresh crushed berries, hints of spicy oak, and some forest floor notes. PALATE The palate is rich, with red berry flavours providing some nice fruit sweetness. Soft tannins ensure that the wine is approachable in its youth, however, it does have structure to enable the wine to develop over the years.

This wine is enticingly aromatic showing notes of dark cherries and strawberries.  Partially aged in French oak barrels for the alluring complexity of well integrated oak and fine silky tannins.  Aged in a mixture of French oak barrels and tank for five months.  Superb with herb-crusted lamb, mushroom risotto or all on its own.
