Pinot3 - Red

Inspired after reading the book Wine Grapes, by Jancis Robinson et al., which indicates Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc are just mutants of the same grape variety Pinot. No other producer seemed to be making a blend of these three so we thought we'd give it a shot.

A wine made to be immediately enjoyable, interesting and affable that would feel equally at home either at the local boozer or amongst the Bloomsbury Set.

We hope you enjoy it!

4.5 Stars - Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Sweetly ripe and elegantly fragrant on the nose with dark cherry, apricot, olive and subtle spice aromas, it's beautifully rounded and supple in the mouth displaying juicy fruit flavours with silky texture and fine tannins. Gentle and smooth with attractive fruit flavours. Pinot Noir (87%) with Pinot Blanc (8%) and Pinot Gris (5%). At its best: now to 2026. www.wineorbit.co.nz

3.5 Stars - Michael Cooper

Enjoyable young, the 2021 vintage (3.5*) is based on Central Otago Pinot Noir, blended with 'a splash' of Pinot Gris. Ruby hued, it is vibrantly fruity, with good depth of fresh cherry, red berry and spice flavours, gentle tannins and a seductively smooth finish. www.michaelcooperwines.com
