Single Vineyard Selection

2012 Marlborough Pinot Noir

The Waihopai Single Vineyard Selection Pinot Noir from the esteemed 2012 vintage showcases the elegance and refinement that the Marlborough region is known for. This red wine presents a beautiful medium-bodied profile, with bright acidity that refreshes the palate while allowing the vibrant fruit character to shine through. Expect prominent notes of dark cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthiness that add depth to its aromatic complexity. The tannins are elegantly structured, providing a firm yet smooth backbone that enhances the overall experience. As a dry wine, it pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, making it a versatile choice for both casual gatherings and more sophisticated dining occasions.

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.
