Valli Bannockburn Central Otago Pinot Noir 2019 $69
Get set for a shed tonne (technical term there) of cedar and spice to tsunami up your olfactory passages and wash down your oesophagus in this new release from Jen Parr and her team at Valli.

Tamarillo and wild cherry notes add mid-palate magic and delicious tension.
