Origin and Style
Crafted in Marlborough, New Zealand, the 2022 Dog Point Pinot Noir reflects the purity and finesse of cool climate winemaking. Sourced from low-yielding vines and organically farmed, this wine captures the elegance and vibrancy that define the region.
Winemaking
Hand-picked fruit is destemmed and fermented using wild yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. Minimal intervention ensures transparency of site and variety, producing a wine that is both structured and expressive.
Tasting Notes
The wine opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, cranberry, rose petals, and earthy spice. The palate is silky and focused, with layers of dark berry, subtle oak, fine tannins, and fresh acidity. The long finish carries notes of forest floor and a touch of savory complexity.
Food Pairing
Perfect with duck, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, or grilled salmon. Serve slightly chilled to highlight its finesse.
