Te Wahi

2012 Central Otago Pinot Noir

This red wine enchants the senses with its vibrant ruby hue, hinting at the depth and complexity that lies within. On the palate, it showcases a medium-bodied profile complemented by a well-integrated acidity that brings brightness and freshness. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering layers of ripe cherry, plum, and subtle hints of spice, creating a harmonious balance. The tannins are firm yet refined, contributing to the wine's structure and elegance. With a dry finish, this wine leaves a lasting impression that invites another sip, perfect for pairing with roasted duck or mushroom risotto.

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.
