Definition Pinot Noir 2020/21, Marlborough

Kiwi Pinot Noir is a real success story. It’s no longer simply compared to Burgundy – it’s become a coveted style of Pinot in its own right. So, it was a no-brainer addition to our Definition range. We wanted something exciting to do justice to New Zealand’s pioneering spirit. So, we headed to Marlborough. The region’s history with Pinot is younger, but if there was anyone who could help us get the blend just right it was Marlborough and Pinot experts, Saint Clair. With them we selected grapes from top parcels in the Southern Valleys – the best site for Pinot in the region. The results speak for themselves. It’s deliciously savoury with classic Marlborough dark fruit. Think black cherry and raspberry. It’s perfumed but fresh, with fine tannins and a lovely silky texture. Ideal with duck.
