Marlborough Pinot Noir

  • Regular price £26.95

After Sauvignon Blanc, the next most-planted grape in New Zealand’s Marlborough region is Pinot Noir. This example from Framingham doesn’t shy away from the savoury, earthy side that makes this variety so food-friendly – it will go well with chicken, turkey and Boxing Day leftovers. Very good value for a Pinot Noir of this quality.

Tasting NotesHas the pale colour you'd expect from this grape variety, and that touch of earthiness to the raspberry and red cherry aromas that makes Pinot Noir so interesting - a touch of beetroot. A subtle spicy note on top from the oak. Only light- to medium bodied but it has enough concentration and intensity, all backed up by well-balanced acidity and a long finish. An elegant and complex New Zealand Pinot Noir.
