New Zealand

Hawke’s Bay might not be your first thought for NZ Pinot Noir but the combination of a cooler, inland site with older vines and the typically meticulous Te Mata approach make this one to keep on the radar. Immediately inviting nose of rose petals and allspice layered over raspberry, redcurrant and cherry with a light touch of milk chocolate and dried herbs. A fairly generous palate, with a silky texture, slightly sappy red fruit and very fine, powdery tannins. Very nicely made, as one would expect, it offers good value with plenty of bright charm and finesse.
