The Waipara West Two Terrace Pinot Noir 2020 is a sophisticated expression of the North Canterbury region in New Zealand. Sourced from two distinct limestone-rich terraces, this wine offers exceptional depth and a unique savory profile that sets it apart.
• Tasting Profile: The nose is beautifully perfumed with notes of violet, dark cherry, and licorice, interwoven with earthy undertones and subtle wisps of woodsmoke.
• Palate: Medium-bodied and vibrant, showcasing "crunchy" red fruit flavors like raspberry and cherry. It features finely-grained tannins and a bright acidity that flows into a long, elegant, and mineral-driven finish.
• Winemaking: Matured for 10 months in French oak barriques (6% new) followed by 6 months in stainless steel to ensure a perfect balance between structural complexity and fruit purity.
• Food Pairing: A versatile companion for roasted duck, seared tuna or salmon, mushroom-based dishes, and artisanal charcuterie boards
