This is a fresh and fruity Pinot Noir from the South lsland region in Marlborough. A pretty pale ruby colour and lots of polished red fruit on the nose. Cherry, strawberry, raspberry, licorice and a touch of earth. On the palate, tart-chewy cherries, smoke, light pepper and strawberry freshness. Baking spice, vanilla and a hint of raspberry and anise carrying into the finish. Medium acidity with a light body and tannins. Nicely balanced. Will accompany mandarin beef, mushrooms and rice noodle dishes nicely.

Herbal notes also come through on the tongue with chewy light tannins on the light bodied finish. Medium acidity and very well balanced. Very vibrant with an abundance of red fruit. Enjoy with light cheeses and charcuterie.
