Critic tasting note: (2021 vintage) "Quite perfumed, classic Pinot on the nose with aromas of red cherry, strawberries, rose petals with milk chocolate and just a hint of earthy salami sulphides. Taut, fresh, clean with red currant and cherry flavours, a herbal note and sappy, youthful tannins." - New Zealand Wine Rater

Rich strawberry and spice flavours with rose petal highlights. A smooth and silky style.
Vibrant deep purple. Floral aromas leading into a textured ripe palate with an agreeable flavour of sour cherry and pomegranate.
Bold ripe fruited nose, packed with cranberry and forest fruits. More of the same on the palate. Succulent and generous but dryish tannins. Bit short on finish.
