This Valli Waitaki Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020 offers a captivating aromatic profile with delicate yet intense notes of red berries like cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry, complemented by subtle floral hints of violet and rose. An underlying minerality, reminiscent of crushed stone and wet earth, speaks to its unique terroir. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, showcasing pure red fruit flavors supported by fine-grained tannins. The distinctive minerality from the Waitaki Valley soils adds a savory complexity to the mid-palate. The finish is long, elegant, and refreshing, with lingering fruit and a whisper of spice.
