The 2021 Waitaki Vineyard Pinot Noir is grown on the limestone soils of Waitaki, and the wine is super fresh and detailed as a result. There's crushed shells, balsamic poached strawberry, pink peppercorns, a hint of bay leaf and saltbush and layers of cherry skin. This is all understated flow, fresh blood and elegance. What a superb wine. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Light, smooth-textured with strawberry, cherry, raspberry, vanilla and spicy oak flavours. The pale colour is deceptive as the wine has considerable power clearly demonstrated in its surprisingly lengthy finish. Drink: 2022-2033.
Transparent garnet. Intense and pure and spicy. Light tannins. Good grip and really intense but delicate. Drink: 2024-2032.
