TASTING NOTES
This wine exhibits a mix of red cherry and dark berry fruit notes with a slightly earthy, spicy complexity and hints of oak toast on the nose. It delivers sweet cherry fruit on the palate overlaying tobacco and licorice spice notes, with hints of fruit and spicy toast supporting this into the finish.
FOOD PAIRING
French Classic, Duck Confit
“Largely sourced from our Kaituna and Fairhall Vineyards, with the introduction of some Awatere Estates fruit, this Pinot Noir shows full fruit flavours, complexity and balance.”
