McDonald Pinot Noir
Bright, juicy red and black fruits and spice. This is classic Central Pinot with the touch of class from one of NZ’s top producers – a no brainer.
Lofty notes of brambles and dark red fruits dominate, with subtle background spice and fresh pencil shavings. The palate is loaded with dense ripe red fruits and has a silky-smooth texture. Tannins are firm but integrated with a supple mouthfeel leading to a classic Pinot Noir finish that is long, savoury and mouth filling.
