This wine presents a medium body, balanced beautifully by bright acidity that enhances its fruit-forward nature. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing alluring notes of dark cherry and subtle spice, while gentle tannins provide a smooth mouthfeel, contributing to its overall elegance. With a delightful dry character, this Pinot Noir beautifully captures the essence of its unique terroir, making it an exquisite choice for both casual gatherings and formal occasions alike.

New Zealand

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.
