Region: New Zealand, Central Otago

Grape variety: Pinot Noir

Tasting notes: This has quite an earthy, gamey, savoury nose with a core of warm raspberries, kirsch, roses and cloves with a waft of yeast extract. The light-bodied palate has lovely finesse and elegance and yet offers good intensity and persistence, with lovely ripe, fine-grained tannins and plenty of layers.
