"Elegant and moderately intense pinot noir with floral, violet, dark cherry, anise, spice and subtle oak flavours. A fresh, vibrant wine with appealing acidity that gives the wine energy. Good value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Mar 2021

Aromas of dark cherry, berry fruits and smoke. Flavours of red fruit compote and mocha. Juicy and fleshy in the mouth with soft tannins and persistent flavour.

Grapes from each vineyard were given a short cold soak period before fermentation commenced. Plunging was gentle and not too frequent, aiming to retain elegance in the wine. Dry wines remained on skins until the tannin balance looked approachable. Components were aged for seven months prior to being blended and bottled.

Nobody’s Hero Marlborough Pinot Noir is a fleshy, satisfying wine made in the Framingham way. Here, we prefer an elegant, “feminine” style of Pinot Noir with fragrance, charm and grace. Wine for those who just want to be themselves.

Food Pairing: Easy to drink on its own, or to match with food. Lamb, duck, salmon and charcuterie.
