It is for good reason the 2015 Waipara Hills Waipara Valley Pinot Noir has received a gold medal and is listed in the Top 50 wines from this year’s New World Wine Awards.
The dark cherry, red currant fruit and enticing earthy characters, burst into a palate of rich dark fruit which unfolds to savoury oak and a structured finish.
The deep rich clay soils in the Waipara Valley on which the vines sit, coupled with the bright warm summer of this vintage allowed for a darker Pinot Noir boasting firms tannins, yet with a delightful silky texture.
Serve this wine at room temperature, and it is a wonderful match with slow cooked Spanish lamb with saffron, smoked paprika and garlic.
