Chard Farm Mata-Au Pinot Noir 2019, Central Otago
Vibrant, intense, fruity and varietal with aromas of dried cherry and raspberry, boysenberry, flinty mineral core and dark roses. Complex, layered with toasty wood and oak spices and a touch of char. On the palate - dry, salivating, fruity, varietal and delicious. The freshness and vibrancy on the palate delivers a wine ready to enjoy as well as cellar worthy attributes. Flavours of red berries and dried herbs, wood spices and toastiness. Firm tannins with medium+ acidity and a lengthy finish. Best enjoyed from mid to late 2022 through 2030. If drinking before 2022 then best enjoyed with food.
