The Fox By John Belsham Marlborough Pinot Noir is a captivating expression of this renowned varietal, showcasing the elegance of the Marlborough region. This red wine presents a beautiful ruby hue, hinting at its age while inviting you to explore its depth. On the nose, it delivers an enticing bouquet of ripe red cherries, subtle earthiness, and delicate floral notes, which are characteristic of a well-crafted Pinot Noir. The palate offers a medium body that strikes a harmonious balance between refreshing acidity and soft, velvety tannins, making it incredibly food-friendly. With a pleasing fruit intensity, this wine uplifts any dining experience, especially when paired with duck or mushroom dishes. Its dry finish leaves a delightful impression, making this wine a charming companion for both special occasions and relaxed gatherings.

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.
