Tasting Notes

A beautifully perfumed nose packed with wild red and black berry fruits, toasted brown cooking spices and lifted floral notes, layered over a subtle earthy background. The palate is juicy and lively up front, brimming with red cherry, plum, lightly roasted coffee beans and just a hint of sweet baking spice. A streak of fine acidity brightens the mid-palate, blending seamlessly with fine powdery tannins to lift the palate towards a satisfying elegant finish.

Bright, perfumed Central Otago Pinot Noir with real elegance and drinkability.

Why you'll love it: it has the lifted fruit and silky texture that make Central Otago Pinot Noir so loved, in a style that drinks beautifully now with dinner.
