The Wine

Country of origin:

New Zealand

Region:

Central Otago

Central Otago has fast become New Zealand's answer to top-quality Burgundy. Bannockburn is home to some serious players so no surprises to hear John Forrest has some vines down here. This fruit-forward red has a generous body and just sufficient freshness to keep things lively. The oak has been carefully managed delivering sweet cinnamon spice. A cracking match for pigeon breast for the more adventurous in the kitchen or a humble pasta ragu will do the trick just as swimmingly.

Customer ratings

I just didn't like this wine. It was unlike any Central Otago Pinot Noir I have had. It was more like a Malbec. So, if you like a Malbec-like wine, go for it. If not, steer clear!

Lovely wine from the first sip. Nose of blackberry with hints of spice and sweetness. Balanced taste with plums and that hint of sweetness. Slightly more expensive but worth it
