Pinot Noir from New Zealand - Central Otago & Waitaki
Review Date : 04-May-2026
Light crimson, lighter on the rim. The nose is lifted, with aromas of raspberry, cranberry, red cherry, rosehip, dry herb and a touch of spice. Medium-light bodied, aromas of raspberry, cranberry and red cherry, intertwined with rosehip, tarragon, thyme and delicate spice. The wine is packed with red fruit and fragrant aromatics, showing concentration and depth; enlivening acidity flows along a delicate, chalky mouthfeel, lending a poised, lengthy finish. This Pinot Noir is youthful and pretty, showing delicate, fragrant aromas on a Waitaki signature chalky mouthfeel. Match with duck breast and pork over the next 10 years. Femented to 12.5% alc. 18.5+/20 pts (94 pts) May 2026 RRP $65
