Its unique qualities enable our Pinot Noir to elevate an extraordinary variety of dishes. The vibrant cherry flavours of the more southerly Pinot Noirs flatter the flavours of turkey like the classic garnish, cranberry sauce.

“I have long been writing about the potential of New Zealand to supplant all other competitors of Burgundy and I see no reason to change my mind.”
James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
New Zealand Pinot Noir shows the fine tannins and elegance of good Burgundy with the added excitement of vibrant, intense fruit and secondary herbal, spice and game characters. Distinct regional styles are beginning to emerge from New Zealand. The Wairarapa wines are full-bodied and dense with rich dark plum and chocolate flavours. Marlborough and Nelson show complex, tight structure with bright cherry flavours. Waipara Pinot Noir shows hints of pepper and spice whilst Central Otago are known for their herbal notes, berryfruit and firm tannins.
