Cherry, Spice, Strawberry

"Charming and elegant, the bouquet shows sweet cherry, strawberry, mixed spice, and floral aromas, leading to a juicy palate that's smooth and rounded. Well balanced by supple texture and bright acidity, making it refreshing and delightfully drinkable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2024

This Chilled Red is made from Pinot Noir and is crafted in a light, refreshing style that’s perfect for chilling, making it a go-to for a thirst-quenching glass of red. It greets you with aromas of strawberry and raspberry, followed by a palate bursting with cherry and spice flavors, finishing smooth and refreshing. Toss it in the fridge or chilly bin alongside your white wine and beer, and enjoy whenever the moment feels right.

The fruit for this wine is sourced from premium Wairarapa vineyards, where the cool dry climate and free draining soils  produce outstanding Pinot Noir . Careful canopy management and naturally low yields ensured ripe fresh  fruit at harvest.

The harvested fruit was cool fermented with an inclusion of whole bunch to enhance perfume and fruitiness.The ferments were then pressed and aged in stainless steel tanks and older barrels to maintain vibrancy before blending and preparation for bottling.

Food Pairing: Great on its own or paired with just about anything—salmon, spicy dishes, or even a BBQ favorite.
