This medium-bodied red wine reveals a stunning ruby hue, inviting you into its complex character. The acidity is bright, providing a refreshing lift that beautifully balances the wine's fruit-forward profile, featuring luscious notes of cherry and raspberry intertwined with subtle hints of earthiness. Tannins are notably structured, contributing to the wine's smooth texture and ageability. This Pinot Noir is dry, making it a perfect companion for a range of dishes, from grilled salmon to mushroom risotto. The Terra Vin Hillside Reserve is a testament to Marlborough's prowess in crafting exquisite wines that resonate with both sophistication and approachability.

Region:


Marlborough

New Zealand's Marlborough region is arguably its most important, a name synonymous with the country's distinctive world-class Sauvignon Blancs. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc—with its tropical fruit, gooseberry and herbaceous notes—is one of a kind. And it is all thanks to Marlborough's terroir: a large, gravelly river valley inland of Cloudy Bay at the northeast tip of the South Island, it enjoys long, warm, maritime-influenced summers. But Marlborough isn't only about Sauvignon Blanc. The region also produces exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, sparkling wine and both dry and sweet Riesling.
