From the team at McArthur Ridge comes a new vintage of what’s fast become known as one of New Zealand’s best value pinot noirs. Crafted from fruit grown in Alexandra, it bursts with classic earthy notes, black bean, red cherry and fresh-cut tamarillo characters. Made by the talented, Central Otago specialist Matt Connell, it’s a refreshing, lithe, spic-edged example with toast and cherry cola to finish. It’s a pretty snazzy thing to sip indeed.
