"Flavours of dark cherry and plum explode on the palate"
Gold Medal: NZ International Wine Show 2010
An elegant Pinot Noir with aromas of dark cherry and plums, with hints of clove and spicy oak. Flavours of dark cherry and plum explode on the palate. Aged in new French barrels gives some savoury notes and a full, long lasting finish.
Fruit for this wine comes from a single vineyard about 40 km south of Blenheim. The site has a unique micro climate ideal for producing top-quality wines. The soils have a high limestone content which adds slight mineral notes to the wine.
Drinking well now this wine will continue to reward over the next two to five years. A perfect match with roast poultry, spring lamb or barbecued beef.
