Stoneleigh Rapaura Series Pinot Noir 2020, Marlborough

The Stoneleigh Pinot Noir shows layers with initial perfumed vanilla notes that opens to have black doris plum and vibrant blackberry notes. Toasty oak also features.

The palate is savoury, rich and warm and inviting with perfumed dark brooding fruit, blackberry and black doris plum flavours, with finely integrated charry oak. Layers of complexity coupled with finely textured silky tannins round off the palate.

Pair this drop with seared venison loin with wild mushroom risotto.
