The wine shows lovely pure fruit on the nose and palate. It is warm and medium-bodied with dark cherry fruit a firm structure and a spicy mid-palate. Six months of barrique ageing - in one-third used oak and two-thirds used foudres gives it a smoky depth and a nice backbone of earthy tannins. If you find New Zealand Pinots overly fruity and unsubtle, try this - it shows less obvious fruit but has an earthiness and depth that gives it an added dimension.
Perfect for everyday sipping, delicious when served with tomato-based dishes be it pasta based or of course, pizza. It makes a perfect partner to slow-roasted duck legs.
