"It's delightfully fragrant and instantly appealing on the nose showing sweet cherry, floral, roasted nut and subtle spice aromas. The silky-smooth palate displays succulent fruit flavours with supple texture, elegantly framed by fine tannins, finishing lingering and tasty. Well rounded and fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2022

Delightfully fragrant with sweet cherry, florals and subtle spice aromas, combining with a silky smooth palate and lovely fruit sweetness. This fresh and vibrant Pinot Noir sings Central Otago as clearly as the Welcome Swallow’s twittering, chattering call.

The Welcome Swallow gained its name as its appearance heralds the start of Spring. A lovely warm summer in 2020 combined with classic large diurnal shifts in autumn which led to a long ripening period, providing lovely ripeness and fruit flavour in this vibrant Pinot Noir.

Often seen darting around the southern lakes and rivers, the Welcome Swallow is known for its penchant to twitter and catch a sip on the fly. Inspired by this swift and graceful bird, Fast Flying Wines Limited, a family owned Central Otago winery, is proud to introduce this Pinot Noir.

Food Pairing: With or without food, this lively and elegant pinot noir is perfect for enjoying with a flock or when flying solo. Ideal with an antipasto platter, barbeque or light style Italian dishes.
