We don’t think it would be an overstatement to say that this is one of the best New Zealand Pinot Noirs we have ever tasted. The fruit is intense and ripe, while also having restraint and definite Pinot character (unlike so many others). Plenty of richness on the palate, and excellent length of flavour.

Good to know

  • Serve still Pinot Noir slightly cool, around 14 to 16°C.

Common questions

What does Blanc de Noirs mean?

It is a white sparkling wine, usually Champagne, made only from black grapes such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The juice is pressed off the skins quickly so it stays pale.

What food goes with Pinot Noir?

Roast chicken, duck, salmon, mushrooms and soft cheeses are classic matches. It is lighter than most reds, so it suits dishes that a heavy red would overwhelm.
