Bell Hill Pinot Noir

2003 Canterbury Pinot Noir

The Bellhill Bell Hill Pinot Noir from the 2003 vintage is a stunning representation of its varietal, showcasing the elegance and finesse that this grape can achieve in the Canterbury region. This red wine exhibits a medium-bodied profile that gracefully balances its bright acidity, making it incredibly food-friendly. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe cherry, raspberry, and subtle spice notes that captivate the palate. Tannins are beautifully integrated, offering a gentle structure that complements the wine's overall smoothness. On the dryness scale, this Pinot Noir is superbly dry, allowing its complex flavors to shine through without any interference. This limited-production wine is a delightful expression of Canterbury's terroir and a must-try for Pinot Noir enthusiasts.

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.
