Overview
The Johner Estate Wairarapa Pinot Noir is a refined and elegant red wine from the estate's Gladstone vineyard in New Zealand. With its garnet hue and expressive nose, this Pinot Noir offers a delightful combination of dark fruit, earthy spice, and subtle oak influence. It's a wine that is both approachable now and capable of aging gracefully to reveal even more complexity with time.
Tasting Notes
The wine opens with inviting aromas of dark chocolate and almond, which lead into layers of dark red brambly fruits, such as blackberries and raspberries, along with earthy spice notes. On the palate, it has a bright, fresh character with a silky texture and well-integrated tannins. The soft and fruity style makes it a versatile wine, easy to enjoy now but also suitable for aging. This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, including roasted chicken, duck, or lamb. It is also an excellent match for earthy flavors like mushroom risotto, grilled vegetables, or soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. Whether for a casual meal or a more refined dinner, this Pinot Noir enhances the dining experience.
