Pinot Noir
Wine makers of the legendary Côte-d’Or vineyards watch nervously as New World upstarts challenge for Pinot Noir supremacy, including our own Otago, Marlborough, and Martinborough growers. New Zealand’s wine regions have provided the precise cooler climatic conditions needed to produce dazzling, expressive fruit and spice flavours and keep red wine lovers around the world eager for more. Consequently, Pinot Noir has become NZ’s second-most planted grape variety. And it’s no wonder, the best Pinot Noir experiences — velvety flavours of rich-red plums with perfume notes of fresh-crushed flowers — are unforgettable.
