Tarras Vineyards The Canyon is an exceptional 2007 Pinot Noir that captures the essence of Central Otago with its brilliant red hue. This wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, perfectly balanced by its bright acidity, which invigorates the palate while enhancing the overall experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing lush notes of dark cherry and subtle hints of spice, creating a tantalizing tapestry of flavors. The tannins exhibit a soft yet firm quality, adding structure to the wine without overwhelming its finesse. As a dry wine, it invites the drinker to savor each sip, making it a delightful companion for various dishes or an enjoyable standalone experience.

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.
