A refined and elegant Pinot Noir from the almighty Wairarapa. The price is somewhat almighty also!

"Aromas of pinosity driven by light red berry fruits and roses, some layers of crumbled stone mineral suggestions, barrel spices and a steely youthful energy. Taut and dry as the wone touches the palate, I notice the tannins and acidity first setting a decent foundation for ageing. Next, the fruit flavours of cherry and strawberry, some cranberry then barrel spice complexity. Well made and still very youthful with plenty of tension across the palate, this means best drinking is likely from 2025 through 2030+. I expect this wine will age remarkably well, a wine to cellar and test the theory." Drink 2025 - 2030+ 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS

Established in 1996, proudly family owned and managed, Borthwick Vineyard produces wines that are a direct reflection of the Gladstone region, New Zealand. Ancient stony,
alluvial soils, a cool climate, sustainable practices and minimal intervention in the vineyard and winery, mean our wines display distinctive single vineyard characteristics.

This is about the purity of Pinot Noir with spicy savoury and bright, juicy red florals and fruits. It is medium bodied with soft velvety tannins, a mix of tart and sweet cherry fruit with a chocolate touch to the lightly oaked finish and a spicy zestiness to the lingering aftertaste. Winery

Sit back and relax into a Pinot Noir that's not all about power.
