Misha’s Vineyard Verismo Central Otago Pinot Noir 2013 $75
“We hold back our Reserve Pinot Noir so it’s always an ‘aged’ release” say Misha and Andy Wilkinson of their flagship pinot noir. Released six years from harvest, the Verismo is a butterfly. Unfurling slick, rainbow wings of flavour, cherry, blueberry, caramelised spices, baked tamarillo and soothing, warming textures ooze forth. It’s an elegant, dance-across-your-palate-style that leaves a seductive impression.
