Raspberry and strawberry with tar, mineral and dried herbs. Raisin, plum and leather join with cedar and vanilla. Medium weight with a savoury, supple entry. Plum and strawberry build through the mid-palate, followed by raspberry, cherry and cedar spice on the finish. Dusty fine tannins shape a smooth, lush mouthfeel. Forest floor and a wisp of smoke linger. In the early 1980’s Babich Wines was the first New Zealand wine company to win a Gold Medal for Pinot Noir, and that legacy of excellence remains. From our 100% certified sustainable vineyards in Marlborough’s prime subregions, comes this smoothly luxurious Pinot Noir, displaying delicate spice, plum, cherry and earthy flavours. Food Pairing: An ideal partner to strongly flavoured foods such as balsamic marinated steak or salami, artichokes, olives and sun-dried tomatoes.
