From Nga Waka, Three Paddles 2017 Pinot Noir is a delicious, mature PN produced from grapes sourced from the Martinborough, North Island wine region in New Zealand. This winery's name is taken from Nga Waka a Kupe (the canoes of Kupe) for the three hills that stand beside each other and look like upturned canoes. On the palate, the wine is rich with red berry, raspberry, dried mushroom, herbs and cedar spice flavours silky and vibrant on the palate. Pour with a roasted root vegetable casserole. This vintage was awarded Gold at the 2020 New World Wine Awards.

Pinot Noir food pairings: lamb kebabs, veal chops, grilled chicken dishes.
