Why you'll love it
A benchmark New Zealand Pinot Noir from the Waipara Valley, offering depth, elegance, and aging potential. Crafted with minimal intervention, it reflects the unique terroir of the region.
Ripe black cherry, raspberry, and plum, with earthy undertones of mushroom and forest floor. Hints of cinnamon, clove, and subtle oak add complexity. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a lingering, spicy finish.
Duck confit, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto.
Best known in Burgundy, Oregon, New Zealand
The great red grape of Burgundy. Cherry, raspberry, earthy and floral notes, with silky tannins and fresh acidity. Notoriously hard to grow well, but capable of extraordinary elegance, and a key grape in Champagne and English sparkling wine.
New Zealand
North Canterbury, on New Zealand's South Island, a short drive north of Christchurch. Limestone-rich soils, warm dry days and cool nights suit Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay. The wines combine ripe fruit with bright acidity and a mineral edge. A smaller, characterful alternative to Marlborough.
