Wine Suggestion
Region: Marlborough Region, NZ
Varietal: Pinot Noir
On the nose it shows fruits characters of mulberry, cherry and red plums with savoury spices, cocoa powder and a hint of toasty oak. Elegant and juicy on the palate, it displays multi-layered fruit flavours accompanied by soft, fine tannins. This wine has elegant structure, silky texture and juicy acidity to give freshness, and it culminates in a lingering finish.
