An opulent, full bodied Marlborough Pinot Noir.
Picked from our coastal Awatere Marlborough estate, this Pinot Noir shows fragrant red berry aromas and hints of spice on the nose from 12 months in French oak - which then extends to an opulent palate of ripe cherry, chocolate and dark plum.
On the palate, it’s silky and elegant, layered with juicy red fruits, hints of soft vanilla, and gentle chocolate earthy undertones.
The oak adds a delicate toastiness, balancing the wine’s bright fruit and giving it a smooth, lingering finish.
Lightly structured and harmonious, this Pinot Noir is both approachable now and perfect for enjoying over the next few years. Overall, it is beautifully structured with rich concentration from the French Oak maturation.
The perfect wine for a casual dinner with friends, date nights, or alone with a good book or cheese plate - its subtle earthiness and silky texture are perfect for sipping and savouring.
Because of its silky texture and balanced oak, it pairs best with dishes that highlight its red fruit and subtle spice without overpowering the wine.
Enjoy it with roast chicken, lightly grilled beef or lamb, a mushroom risotto, roasted root vegetables, or lightly herbed pasta.
