Pheasant Pluckers Ruby

2011 Marlborough Pinot Noir

Johanneshof Cellars Pheasant Pluckers Ruby is a vibrant red wine that beautifully showcases the elegance of Pinot Noir from the Marlborough region. This 2011 vintage offers a charming balance with a medium body, enlivening the palate with refreshing acidity that is both bright and mouthwatering. The wine presents a prominent fruit intensity, featuring enticing notes of ripe cherries and raspberries, accented by subtle hints of forest floor and earthy undertones typical of the varietal. Tannins are well-integrated and soft, providing a smooth mouthfeel that rounds out the wine's character, while its clever dryness enhances its food-friendly appeal, making it a delightful accompaniment to a range of dishes.

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.
