TASTING NOTE: Central Otago is the southernmost winemaking region in the world and home to some of the most exciting versions of Pinot Noir anywhere. This one offers good value and is loaded with juicy red fruit - think cherry, raspberry and red plums - with smoke, coffee and toast notes. Enjoy with roast pork or beef.
