“This is nicely maturing; the fragrant bouquet shows dark berry, smoked meat, clove and roasted nut characters. The palate offers juicy mouthfeel and attractive fruit intensity, well supported by silky texture and fine tannins. Lovely harmony and maturity, making it a delightful food partner. At its best: now to 2017.” Sam Kim Wine Orbit

The Tuhi Pinot Noir has concentrated black cherry and dark berry aromas which follow through to the palate where dark berryfruit and cherry flavours are supported by soft tannins. 

This is a ripe and deeply coloured food wine, designed for early drinking but capable of cellaring for 3-5 years.  Recommended serving temperature 16-18°C.

The Tuhi vineyards produce super premium New Zealand wines, with ripe flavour-filled grapes sourced from carefully selected alluvial gravel vineyard sites on New Zealand’s East Coast. Warm, sheltered sites are selected for Merlot and Cabernet Franc, while cooler sites provide ideal flavour development in Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. Reflecting this care and attention in the vineyard, Tuhi wines are hand-crafted by a team of experienced Winemakers to produce rich, soft and approachable wines of exceptional quality.

Traditionally fermented in small open top tanks with regular hand plunging, the wine then completes malolactic fermentation prior to maturation in the cellar.  It receives a light egg-white fining prior to bottling.
