The fruit in this wine comes mainly from across Marlborough, with small amounts from other regions, creating a consistent benchmark Pinot. A variety of yeast strains, & ageing in a mixture of French & American oak are also used, further enhancing complexity. Bright red cherries & summer berries characterise the fruit, highlighted by aromas of dried herbs. The sweetness of the fruit is balanced by firm tannins & a streak of taut acidity. Drink this in its youth, with a mushroom risotto or pasta dish.
