Big Sky ‘Provenance’ Te Muna Road Pinot Noir 2013 $54 ★★★★★
The ancient Te Muna Terraces are home to some of New Zealand’s most prestigious pinot noir vineyards. There’s something about those soils which impart such huge depth of character into the wines – so prepare yourself for masses of sweet black tea, baked cherry, fresh plum and dried herb characters which sit atop smooth, savoury spices, pillowy tannins and an elegant, ethereal finish. Superb stuff. www.bigskywines.co.nz
