Description
Marlborough is rightly lauded for its Sauvignon Blanc but this floral fresh and crunchy Pinot Noir proves that the reds can be equally as impressive. Owner Sue White and top winemaker, Sam Smail, are focused on producing elegant, varietal wines and this Pinot Noir is a wonderful example. It’s packed with plum fruit and cherry aromas as well as toast and sweet spice from 11 months in French oak. A finely balanced gem.
Tasting Note
With captivating plum fruit, cherry aromas and toast on the nose, the palate has a finely balanced, elegant structure and supple, silky tannins.
