Wairau River Marlborough Pinot Noir 2023

Description

Cherry, Oak, Raspberry

"It's delightfully ripe and inviting on the nose with sweet strawberry, floral, olive and almond notes, followed by a silky-smooth palate that's supple and rounded. Well framed by fine tannins, finishing long and elegant. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2024

Concentrated raspberry and red cherry notes are supported by rich savoury complexity. The palate is soft and generous, with notes of wild berries and bramble framed by subtle elegant tannins providing structure and depth.

Our style of Pinot Noir is bright raspberries and red cherries combined with savoury oak (from spending nine months in French barriques) making it extremely approachable, bright and easy to drink. These grapes are hand-picked in the cool of the morning to retain the vibrancy we get from our estate vineyards.

Food Pairing: Any red meat goes well with this wine, or try it with a cheeseboard!
