"It's seductively complex and enticing on the nose with dark cherry, smoked game, earthy mushroom and assorted nut aromas, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate displaying expansive mouthfeel and loads of fine polished tannins. Silky-smooth with sweet fruit richness and savoury nuances. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2022

"Complex aromas of mixed baking spices and red berries, there’s a dry stone earthy quality with a touch of wood smoke and bacon. Nice weight and youthful tension on the palate with flavours of fresh and baked cherry, strawberry and baking spices from cinnamon to cedar and clove. Tannins layer in texture and mouthfeel and acidity provides freshness and contrast. The fruit flavours and decent structure will allow this wine to age and develop, plus it is immediately food friendly. Nice complexity and length with best drinking from early 2023 through 2030" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Aug 2022

Four Barrels Pinot Noir displays generous plum, cherry and ripe berry fruit aromas with a hint of soft spice. The palate is rich and showing layers of silky-smooth dark berry flavours underpinned by subtle notes of dry ‘Provencal’ herbs. A beautifully balanced elegant, lush wine with a lingering finish. Best enjoyed now through to 2030.

The Four Barrels Pinot Noir came from three of the growers vineyards on the Moutere hills and Waimea Plains. Predominantly Moutere Clay with alluvial soil.

Starting with a warm spring, it continued on through a long, hot and very dry summer and autumn resulting in superb, clean, ripe fruit packed with intense flavours perfect for making sensational wine. One of Nelson’s finest vintages!

Fermented in predominantly French oak barriques with a small portion in American oak barriques for 12 months. After extended barrel aging, we carefully bottle and cellar for a further two years before release.

Food Pairing: This elegant Pinot Noir is delicious served with duck, salmon or aged cheese.
