Description

"Sweetly fruited and nicely fragrant, the bouquet shows ripe cherry, strawberry, floral and subtle spice aromas, leading to a juicy palate that's smooth and supple. It's elegantly expressed with ripe fruit flavours and rounded mouthfeel, making it delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2020

"Bright, fresh, pungently fruity with aromas of fresh raspberry and crushed red cherry, red flowers and a soft fruit spice layer. On the palate - crisp, fruity, refreshing, simple and dry. Flavours reflect the nose with red berry flavours dominating followed by some flowers and fruit spice and no oak to discuss. Balanced, well made and ready to open and enjoy upon purchase and through 2022" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, May 2020

Bright red fruit flavours, a soft and round palate and lovely fruit sweetness define this fresh and vibrant Pinot Noir.

The 2018 season started with an exceptionally warm Spring in Central Otago, and was followed by record heat and sunshine hours throughout Summer. The early harvest rewarded with excellent ripeness and quality of fruit.

Food Pairing: With or without food, this lively and elegant Pinot Noir is perfect with an antipasto platter, barbeque or light style Italian dishes.
