Pinot Noir, when made well, produces wonderful cherry, redcurrant flavoured velvety, style dare I say perfect to go with Turkey. However, as a grape it is notoriously difficult to deal with.
The Pinot Noir that we have featured in the case comes from the heart of Marlborough. The region is fed by two main rivers, the Awatere and Wairau. It is from the banks of the upper Awtater region that wine maker, David Clouston, carefully hand selects the ripe bunches of fruit for this 'Selection' Pinot Nor. After pressing, the wine spends 11 months in oak which results in this elegant and rich textured wine.
