"It's brightly fruited and attractively expressed on the nose showing dark cherry, pomegranate, clove and floral aromas. The palate delivers elegant weight and rounded mouthfeel, finishing smooth and juicy. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2023

Light garnet red. An aromatic Pinot Noir with red berry, cherry and underlying savoury characters. The palate is juicy and savoury, delivering succulent fruit flavours together with a subtle spicy complexity, finishing long and smooth.

Grapes were harvested from vineyards in the Wairau Valley and Awatere Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand.

Vintage 2022 provided the warmest weather on record in New Zealand. This along with favourable rain postflowering set up a fantastic fruit crop for our 2022 wines. An early and compact harvest coupled with hard work allowed our talented winemakers to produce fabulous wines that rival the last two years vintages with well balanced flavour and acidity.

The juice was cold soaked prior to temperature controlled fermentation, in a mixture of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. With minimal intervention and fining, this wine was matured on oak for 8 months prior to filtering and bottling.

Food Pairing: Beautiful with rich and flavourful game dishes.
