About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Pinot NoirCentral Otago, New ZealandWine notes:
An enticing bouquet that slowly opens to reveal ripe red fruits – cherry, plum and pops of raspberry – intertwined with hints of dried herb and a subtle smokiness. A velvety texture and elegant density in the mid-palate reveals layers of flavour. Lingers gracefully with a calm persistence and a luminous character to the acid that delivers pleasing freshness and length.
winemaker’s comments:
the Tiger Pinot Noir is a single vineyard wine made from grapes grown in our Tiger vineyard in the Lowburn sub-region. The vineyard is on sloping land up off the valley floor and this elevated cooler position allows the vineyard to ripen slowly, building layer upon layer of flavour nuance and soft silky tannins. The wines from this vineyard typically display spicy aromatic red berry fruits and violets. The palate is characterised by a broad structure and layers of fine integrated tannin and fruit which is more textural than structural. The Tiger is always quite shy and reticent in its youth and after 4-5 years in bottle it really blossoms and expresses itself.
