Isabel Estate Pinot Noir is a quintessential wine, exuding a delightful elegance hailing from Marlborough, New Zealand. This red wine unveils layers of dark cherry and wild blackberry, complemented by hints of spicy oak and velvety tannins. The palate is both complex and vibrant with a long, satisfying finish. Best served at room temperature, it pairs beautifully with poultry, roasted vegetables or medium cheeses. While it's a perfect companion for a hearty meal, this Pinot Noir's refined character can stand understandably on its own, reminiscent of a plush velvet curtain drawn back to reveal a masterpiece.

Tasting Notes

A captivating ruby red in colour matches an aromatic nose that unveils itself with layers of wild flowers, perfumed violets and red cherry notes. Concentrated flavours of black cherry, Kalamata olive and dried herb intertwine with sinewy tannins and judiciously selected French oak to create a long, memorable finish. Attractive in its youth with fruit purity, it will make an equally great sleeper with bottle age developing extra complexity.
