Palliser Estate, Pinot Noir, Martinborough, Wairarapa, New Zealand 2020

This Pinot Noir punches well above its weight for the price. Forward aromas of dark berry and red raspberry with more forest fruit earthy tones on the palate, alongside inky grippy tannins and smoky tones. Will age another decade easily; serious, but good approachability too. Some 72% of fruit comes from organic vineyards with 20% undergoing whole bunch fermentation.
