"Deep scarlet in colour, the aromas of this forthright, vital Pinot evoke both raspberries and plums. On the palate, too, the wine is energetic and exuberant; its structure derives from that force of fruit, darkened by oak and lifted by ripe, fruit-dense acidity rather than tannins. The overall mouthfeel, thus, is smooth rather than grippy, despite this impressive depth of fruit. This is assured Pinot Noir from one of the southern hemisphere’s reference zones.
After cool, damp weather at flowering, the 2021 vintage in Martinborough was never going to be a bountiful one, but the second half of the season was regarded by many growers as near perfect and the quality of what was finally harvested in this North Island Pinot-Noir hotspot was enviable." - Decanter
"The only New Zealand wine to be awarded a Decanter World Wine Awards 2023 Best in Show, plus a Platinum Medal with 97 points. This truly is one of New Zealand's finest Pinot Noirs. A concentrated and silky Single Vineyard Pinot Noir made with minimal intervention to ensure it is a true representation of site, soul and season. Aromas of plum, raspberry, black cherry, anise and boronia, On the palate, the tannins of the 2021 vintage Hua Nui Pinot Noir are so disarmingly silky and mouth-coating, you pause in your tracks." - Palliser Estate
