This beautifully crafted red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, with a perfect balance between freshness and depth. Its vibrant acidity adds a delightful liveliness, enhancing the bright red fruit aromas of cherries and raspberries that dominate the bouquet. The tannins are elegantly structured, providing a soft yet firm mouthfeel that complements the wine's complex character without overshadowing its fruit-forward nature. With a dryness that invites further exploration, this Pinot Noir is an exceptional choice for those seeking a sophisticated yet approachable experience. Emphasizing the region’s renowned winemaking legacy, the 25 Steps stands out as a true gem from Central Otago.

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
