Tohu Whenua Awa Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017, Upper Moutere, Nelson
Fine and quite intense bouquet with aromas of spicy French oak, cherries, fresh and dried roses, a silty mineral layer and a touch of salinity. On the palate - complex, fine, detailed and captivating with flavours that not only reflect the nose, but layer in soft baking spices, red apple skin and cherry. Fine chalky textured tannins, medium acidity, lengthy finish and complex. This is a wine that Pinto Noir drinkers like to discuss for its layers of subtlety and fruit descriptors, textures and best time to open and share the next bottle. Lovely wine with a fine lengthy finish. Best drinking from today and through 2027.
