🍒 Tasting Notes

A bright, fruit-forward Pinot Noir with classic Marlborough charm. The nose shows lifted aromas of red cherry, boysenberry and subtle spice, with hints of wild herbs and a gentle earthy note.

On the palate, it is smooth and juicy, delivering vibrant red berry flavours supported by soft spice and a savoury undertone. Fine, silky tannins and fresh acidity give balance and structure, while a light touch of oak adds complexity without overpowering the fruit.

The finish is clean and supple, with lingering cherry, spice and a subtle savoury edge that keeps it fresh and highly drinkable.
