Bendigo

2010 Central Otago Pinot Noir

Quartz Reef Bendigo is a stunning Pinot Noir from the illustrious Central Otago region, renowned for its exceptional viticulture. This 2010 vintage showcases a beautiful ruby red color that captures the eye. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied profile with refreshing acidity that gives it an invigorating character. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering vibrant notes of cherry, raspberry, and subtle earthiness, providing a delightful complexity. Its tannins are notable but well-integrated, contributing to a smooth and elegant mouthfeel without overwhelming the wine. This Pinot Noir is crafted to be dry, allowing the expressive fruit flavors to shine while maintaining a refined balance, making it a fantastic choice for both casual sipping and food pairings.

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.
