“A delicious New Zealand Pinot Noir with spicy, complex flavors and an irresistibly velvety texture!”
“Fragrant aromas of wild raspberries, violets, orange peel, and cinnamon. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine features fine tannins and lively acidity, revealing notes of strawberries, cranberries, pencil shavings, and blood oranges. A tightly structured wine with a refined framework. Drink now or cell." (James Suckling 2024) • Screw cap

About the wine:
On the nose, aromas of red berries, saddle leather, and black cherry. A beautiful texture throughout the mid-palate; lively fruity notes, delicious aromas of hibiscus tea, and a mineral intensity.

About the wine:
A bright red color with ruby highlights reveals a fresh and elegant bouquet, dominated by characteristic varietal notes of cherry and violet flowers, blackcurrant and rose, followed by hints of delicate spices and earthy smoke. On the palate, this is a delightful wine, endowed with exuberant freshness and texture. Dry, it offers an abundance of fine, polished tannins, medium-to-high acidity, and an aromatic core that mirrors the bouquet. Persistent, with a certain youthful tension, balanced and well-structured. Best enjoyed from late 2026 through 2031 and beyond.
