Pinot Noir

2012 Central Otago Pinot Noir

Como Villa Pinot Noir from the esteemed Central Otago region is a delightful expression of this classic varietal. With a medium body, this wine enchants the palate with vibrant acidity that brings forth a lively character, making it both refreshing and engaging. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing a harmonious blend of ripe red berries, cherries, and subtle earthy undertones that are characteristic of the region. Tannins are well-integrated and offer a soft structure, enhancing the overall smoothness of the wine. As a dry wine, it offers a clean finish, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes or simply to be enjoyed on its own. The 2012 vintage has matured beautifully, allowing the flavors to develop and harmonize, presenting a wine that is both approachable and refined.

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.
