The Duke Of Cromwell Central Otago Pinot Noir 2023

Description

Cherry, Spice, Strawberry

"Moderately light ruby-red, even colour throughout. The nose is youthful and gently full, with aromas of blackberry, cherry, spice and gamey hints. Medium-bodied, aromas of blackberry and cherry entwined with cinnamon, nutmeg and gamey hints. The fruit is succulent, supported by salivating acidity. A light grip of fine tannins provides structure and substance. This Pinot Noir is youthful with succulent fruit and a fine frame" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews

The Duke of Cromwell, produced by Nevis Bluff Wines, has a strong sense of place, rich and ripe but with a strong mineral thread. Aromatically this wine has ripe red currant, dark chocolate, violet and spicy on the nose leading to a soft elegantly textured palate.

Nevis Bluff has a key role in the Central Otago wine industry and is aptly named the ‘Pinot Specialist’ - reflecting the vineyard’s ambition to produce distinctive Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir wines.

Food Pairing: Beautifully matched with lamb burgers or pork ribs.
