Animus

2012 Martinborough Pinot Noir

The Cambridge Road Animus is a striking red wine that beautifully showcases the elegance of Pinot Noir from the renowned Martinborough region. This 2012 vintage exudes a medium-bodied character, offering a delightful balance of acidity that enhances its overall vibrancy and appeal. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of vibrant red cherries and raspberries, complemented by subtle undertones of earthiness that are characteristic of this terroir. Tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing a smooth mouthfeel that invites another sip. The wine is dry, making it exceptionally food-friendly and perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes, from roasted poultry to mushroom risottos. This Pinot Noir truly embodies the spirit of its region, making it a fantastic choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions.

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.
