With over 30 years of winegrowing, Dayne and Jill Sherwood of Sherwood Estate are amongst this country’s most experienced wine producers. Still independent and family owned, the Sherwoods' business encompasses 50 ha of vineyards in North Canterbury. They make a broad range of wines over different tiers that well-represent their provenance. Over half of the production is exported to over 25 countries. The highly respected and very experienced Petter Evans oversees the winemaking. Here, I review the new release 2017 Sherwood Estate ‘Sherwood’ Pinot Noir. www.sherwoodestate.co.nz
