Tūpari Pinot Noir 2018 – 6 bottle case

Winemaker Description

It is the Tūpari terroir that creates this unique wine. Warm daytime temperatures, a gentle north-facing slope, and clay bound gravels all build the flavours in our wine and result in an elegant Pinot Noir exhibiting earthiness and dark berry notes. This classic varietal expression is complemented by the Tūpari style of elegance and multiple layers of flavours.

The Naked Truth

With dark berry and mushroom flavours, this Awatere Valley Pinot Noir is a forest feast. Featuring elegant, silky tannins this wine is beautifully balanced

Try with: Grilled tuna or salmon, earthy veg such as mushrooms or beetroot, duck pancakes, pulled pork, roast chicken or lamb, pork sausages, rack of lamb, rare fillet steak, BBQ venison or perfect for a summer BBQ.

Cheesy match: Creamy cheeses such as brie or camembert a mild cheese made from sheep’s milk.

Helpful tip

Marlborough Pinot Noir tends to be a little lighter and fruitier than the wines of Central Otago or Burgundy. Always let the wine sit in a glass or decanter a little while before drinking to bring out the flavours.
