2008 Marlborough Pinot Noir

The Pyramid Valley Vineyards Riverbrook Pinot Noir from the renowned 2008 vintage is a delightful expression of Marlborough's unique terroir. This enchanting red wine showcases a medium-bodied structure with bright acidity, ushering in a lively mouthfeel that is both refreshing and invigorating. On the palate, one is greeted with prominent fruit intensity, featuring luscious notes of ripe cherries and blackberries complemented by subtle undertones of earthiness and spice. The tannins are elegantly integrated, offering a smooth texture without overwhelming the wine's finesse. This Pinot Noir is unmistakably dry, making it a crisp and charming companion for a variety of culinary delights, from roasted duck to mushroom risotto. With its well-balanced profile, this wine is a perfect showcase of Marlborough's exceptional viticultural potential.

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.
