2008 Martinborough Pinot Noir

The Margrain Vineyard Direct Home Block Pinot Noir from the 2008 vintage showcases the excellent terroir of Martinborough. With a vibrant red hue, this wine captures the essence of the region's cool climate, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. It boasts a medium body that perfectly balances its lively acidity, resulting in a refreshing profile. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring delightful notes of ripe cherries and raspberries, complemented by subtle hints of earthy undertones. The tannins are finely integrated, contributing to a smooth mouthfeel that makes this wine incredibly approachable. This elegant Pinot Noir is undeniably dry, making it an excellent pairing for a variety of dishes or an enjoyable option on its own.

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.
