Pinot Noir Southern Valleys 2019

The Southern Valleys of Marlborough are famous for their Pinot Noir, which combines firm acidity, tannin density, and ripe fruit with relatively low alcohol. This results in finesse-rich, complex wines like this elegant low-intervention Pinot Noir, which harmonizes tightly textured cherry and berry notes, subtly underpinned by wild herbs, sweet spices, and flowers, with creamy roundness, and which, without aiming for concentration, will mature gracefully.

Wine Enthusiast: “A gentle whiff of cloves, red berries and orange peel gives this Pinot a potpourri-like note. It’s lightly juicy and autumnal, with a raw mineral edge. The palate is light but with a strong backbone of juicy tannins and a snappy acidity that’s more like a bite than a sip. There’s a lightness and expressiveness to this wine that’s easy to love.”
