Description
In a nutshell:
This Marlborough Pinot Noir punches well above its weight - juicy and savoury, it's absolutely cracking value.
The lowdown:
Kiwi Pinot Noir boasting a delightful mix of bright fruit and subtle complexity. Classic cranberry and wild strawberry aromas mingle with hints of savoury mushroom and toasty oak. The winemaking lends a creamy touch, while soft tannins and balanced acidity provide structure. This wine is crafted primarily from grapes grown on the Rapaura Gravels, where the unique soils contribute character. After fermentation, a portion ages in French oak for subtle savouriness, while the rest remains in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruitiness.
The Producer:
Boutinot, the guys responsible for the Cloud Factory range, is a big name in the UK's wine scene and are behind many labels seen on shelves up and down the country. Paul Boutinot kicked things off in 1980, starting with importing wines and soon partnering with winemakers around the globe. They've since gone on to produce their own wines from places like the Rhône Valley, Italy, South Africa and many other places. Their secret is in backing passionate winemakers who aren't afraid to push the envelope, always aiming for wines that really capture the essence of their regions. This, along with providing excellent value for money, is something they've really nailed.
When to drink:
This light-bodied wine is a delightful choice on its own, yet it truly shines with flavourful dishes like aromatic duck dim sums, crispy tempura vegetables, or a vibrant oriental salad.
Suitable for Vegans
