🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby with purple highlights and bright clarity in the glass, showing the vibrant colour typical of Marlborough Pinot Noir.
👃 Aromas (Nose)
Lifted aromas of red and dark cherry, blackcurrant and plum, complemented by savoury notes of thyme, aniseed, dark chocolate and subtle oak spice.
👅 Palate
Elegant and expressive with flavours of cherry, plum and red berries, layered with hints of spice, light earthiness and delicate oak. The fruit is vibrant with a lively mineral edge that adds energy to the wine.
⚖️ Structure & Balance
Medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins and crisp acidity, giving the wine balance, freshness and a smooth, refined texture.
✨ Finish
Long and elegant with lingering red fruit and gentle spice, finishing fresh and well-structured.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Marlborough Pinot Noir — vibrant and fruit-driven with silky tannins, savoury complexity and a refined structure. The wine drinks beautifully now but can also cellar for 5–7 years.
