Aromas of ripe red berries intertwine with subtle notes of earthiness and gentle spice, creating an inviting bouquet that captivates the senses. The tannins are elegantly structured, adding a touch of sophistication without overpowering the wine's delightful freshness. With its dry character and a lingering finish, this Pinot Noir is truly a testament to the artistry of winemaking in Martinborough, making it a fantastic companion to a variety of dishes.

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.
