The Canyon

2008 Central Otago Pinot Noir

Tarras Vineyard The Canyon is a captivating Pinot Noir from the renowned Central Otago region, celebrated for its stunning landscapes and ideal grape-growing conditions. This 2008 vintage showcases a vibrant red hue and exudes an alluring bouquet of dark cherry and raspberry, harmoniously intertwined with hints of earthy undertones and delicate spice. On the palate, the wine offers a well-structured profile with a medium body that elegantly balances bright acidity and subtle, refined tannins, creating a mouthwatering experience. The fruit intensity is pronounced, inviting you to savor each sip, while the wine's dryness enhances its overall sophistication. This wine is a remarkable expression of its terroir and a true delight for those who appreciate the nuances of a finely crafted Pinot Noir.

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.
