Pyramid Valley Pinot Noir 2018, Central Otago

From the Manata Estate in the Lowburn Valley - aromas and personality are unmistakably Central Otago and Pinot Noir with scents of dark cherry and whispers of savoury thyme, a mix of new and seasoned barrel then old barren stony soils. On the palate - fresh, fine and fleshy with a core of light red berry fruit flavours, polished tannins and a youthful acid-line back bone and flavours that mirror the nose. Lengthy finish with a heart of fruit, red flowers and pinosity not to mention well made. Best drinking from early 2021 through 2026.
