Monte Christo Winery Pinot Noir 2022, Alexandra, Central Otago

Variteal, bright and pure fruited bouquet with Alexandra scents of sweet raspberry and plums, flowers and complexities from French oak with baking spices. Taut and youthful with a squeeze of texture from tannins and backbone of acidity then flavours of red berries and plums mirror the bouquet. The tannins deliver a lovely texture and squeeze and acidity carries the fruit and genlte dried herb quality through the palate. The oak is mostly in the backgroun delivering structure and breadth. Well made with best drinking likely from 2026 through 2034+.
