Drinking Window: 2021 - 2023
Made for Tesco by Indevin, this is made from grapes coming from the Bankhouse vineyard in Marlborough, which is in fact the largest vineyard in New Zealand. Despite the sheer scale, this is a well-made, textbook New World Pinot Noir which promises intense black cherry, red cherry and sweet maraschino cherry on the nose. The palate has a green, freshly cut grass note underneath the ripe fruit, finishing dry.
