Rapaura Springs ROHE Pinot Noir 2018, Awatere Valley, Marlborough

The red hues of this wine are perhaps a little light than you might expect for a Pinot Noir, but don’t let the colour be the guide - let the bouquet and palate do that for you….. aromas of sweet red apple and cherry, roses, ripe cranberry and red plum. There’s a fine layer of oak that underpins these aromas with a baking spice and soft toasty quality. On the palate - fine, delicate, balanced and deceptively complex with fruit and would flavours that reflect the nose then fine textures from tannins and acidity. A lighter weighted wine, a complete wine. Best enjoyed from later in 2021 through 2025+.
