Old Weka Pass Road

2003 Canterbury Pinot Noir

The Bell Hill Old Weka Pass Road, a splendid expression of Pinot Noir from the Canterbury region, captivates with its deep, alluring red hue. This vintage, dating back to 2003, showcases a medium-bodied profile that is both elegant and expressive. The wine’s acidity is beautifully balanced, offering a lively backbone that adds vibrancy to each sip, while the fruit intensity leaps from the glass, revealing complex layers of ripe cherry and subtle spice. Tannins are soft and refined, contributing to the wine's overall finesse and approachability. This delightful Pinot Noir is crafted in a nearly dry style, inviting you to savor its nuanced character and enjoy its effortlessly charming presence.

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.
