Spicy Pinot noir but still very light. More suited to spiced pork dishes such as a terrine.

Great, fruity, New Zealand Pinot, different from Central Otago style. Cool wine, cool farming techniques

Mid ruby, black cherry and blackberry, dry, silky, elegant tannins with a touch of refreshing acidity. Medium bodied with dark berry fruit mingled with spice, completed by a long finish.

Full bodies for a pinot noir without losing the classic pinot noir quality.

The floral smell is so beautiful I find myself just smelling the wine for longer periods of time. The taste is just as nice with a spicy liquorice feel with ripe plum and I sence some vanilla.
