A wine from Nelson – made from Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. A blushing light ruby-garnet red colour in the glass. Aromas of raspberry, sumac, sweet cherry, guava, pink peppercorn, red liquorice and rose petal. The palate is light and intensely fruity, with a whoosh of bubblegum and strawberry candies. A bright acidity keeps the flavours turning over, and towards the finish there is more spice and herbal notes. Is it perhaps a ‘nouveau’ style? – try serving this chilled and allowing it to breathe and warm slightly as you finish the bottle. 90pts
