I have allergies to 99% of wines and this is literally the only wine I can drink and not get a reaction or a headache. I believe it has to do with the fining and being put in stainless barrels so less tannins. Its smooth and easy to drink and a good price on special. Give it a try if you are like me and sensitive to wine.

They end up 2019 instead of 2018. It is still nice. However the reason I purchased them was I had some 2018 ones and really like them.

This is one of my favourite Pinot Noirs. I prefer the fuller flavours of Central Otago to fulfill that "wine with red meat" need. This one, though, is my preferred aperitif, or simply "I feel like a wine" option. Light and smooth, it goes down well and leaves a clean fresh taste on the palate.
