Description

Classic Central Otago aromatics of fresh strawberries, raspberries and wild thyme. The palate is full of primary fruits, jammy character and finishes with smooth tannins and oak sweetness.

How to pair it

Ideal with pâtés and salami, but also beef, lamb and game. Don’t be afraid to serve with a dark chocolate mousse either.
"From a single vineyard in the Cromwell Basin. A moderately intense pinot noir with cherry, plum and pronounced mixed spices together with an influence of nutty oak supported by vibrant acidity."

    Had never tried a Pinot Noir from Central Otago before. Smooth and fruity. Great quality for the price
