“Like biting into a ripe red cherry, this unoaked Pinot emphasises youthful sweet prettiness, but is kept from being confected by fresh raspberry acidity, sappy fruit tannins and a savoury leafy edge. Exceptional value; serve slightly cool. From the Ray’s Road vineyard in Hawke’s Bay and Kumeu estate plots.”
Kumeu River Estate is one of the very finest wineries in New Zealand, famed for making wines that are widely acknowledged as world class. Their chardonnays are benchmarks of the grape and are the wines upon which their reputation has been established, but they have also introduced other impressive whites from pinot gris and sauvignon blanc, as well as fine pinot noir.
The village Pinot Noir is juicy, fresh and easily approachable.
