From Bannockburn in Central Otago, New Zealand, this Pinot Noir delivers classic varietal character with precision. Bright red fruit drives the core—cherry and raspberries—with subtle spice, fine-grained tannins, and crisp acidity that keep the palate energized. Food-friendly and approachable now, with potential for short to mid-term aging. Pairs well with roasted poultry, salmon, mushroom dishes, and soft cheeses.
