Head Over Heels Pinot Blanc & Pinot Noir 2020, Central Otago

One of the challenges in putting wine in a can is avoiding any taint from the inside of the packaging. The team at Alpine Wine in Otago have nailed it with nothing except the aromas of wine. The colour is very pretty with hues of pink and red, rose and apricot. On the nose are aromas of a clean, fresh and vibrant wine showcasing baked red peach, persimmon, cherry, and a touch of poached rhubarb juice. On the palate - dry with some very fine fruit tannins, a core of fruit that reflects the bouquet and a plush refreshing finish. Best drinking upon purchase and through end of summer 2023.

I chose to chill this sample - and it worked really well. You could also serve this wine just cool at cellar temperature of 12º celsius.
