Spy Valley Marlborough Pinot Noir is a vibrant, food-friendly red from New Zealand. Estate-grown fruit, gentle extraction, and light oak aging yield bright red-berry fruit, balanced acidity, and refined tannins. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, and violet with subtle spice and earth lead to a palate of red fruit, a touch of forest floor, and a clean, persistent finish. Best served slightly below room temperature; pairs well with roast poultry, salmon, mushroom dishes, and soft cheeses.
