Tasting Notes: Presenting dark cherry and blueberry aromas with delicate floral undertones and subtle hints of mocha and smoky oak.
Lawson’s Dry Hills Pinot Noir is produced from carefully nurtured vines at Chaytors Road and Waihopai vineyards where the combination of clones, climate, and soils produce something special. Small batch fermentation, hand-plunging, and ageing in French oak has helped to produce an expressive wine with intense berry fruit, lovely texture, great concentration, and fine tannins.
De Bortoli Windy Peak Pinot Noir Good rainfall through to mid January and then a long dry summer. Very good quality in all vineyards. Good ripeness, flavour and intensity.
COLOUR - Vibrant medium red with purple hue
PALATE - With a medium weight the palate is immediately mouth filling with fresh juicy red cherry’s, truffles and spice. The fine savoury tannins and integrated toasty oak add balance and length to the finish
BOUQUET - Complex bouquet of cherry, raspberries and lifted floral enhanced with nuances of cedary oak
Pinot Noir is naturally suited to the soils and climate of The Crossings’ higher altitude upper valley vineyards from which the grapes are sourced. This wine was matured in French barrique and presents lifted aromas of cherries, underpinned by savoury notes. Cherry and berry fruits on the palate knit together with subtle oak and fine tannins to produce a wine with great finesse.
This wine presents aromas of warm spicy oak, blackberries and truffles. Lively plum, cherry, and raspberry notes are balanced by a savoury core with hints of nutmeg.
Velvety tannins and bright acidity structure the wine beautifully, for good length of palate and overall harmony.
Ideal with duck dishes, creamy cheeses like Brie, barbequed meats with a hint of smoke, and mushroom or green herb based pasta dishes.
