So vibrant and fresh 7 years old, under screwcap. Delicious red fruits, florals and herbs. Acid is still on the sharp, fresh side but it's beautifully balanced. So easy to drink. Mid weight and structured.

From one of the iconic NZ estate, , in its middle life step, this wine is friendly and approachable, some nice evolution bringing a more subtle character with spicy notes - farming on the estate runs biodynamic and once more the wine as the rest of the range never disappoint, a nice and sure value 😃

More intellectual than sexy, long refined finish with hints of allspice and a bit more tannin than typical of a Pinot. Old school, tightly wound and still closed. Needs another year or two to come into its own.
