The Black Grape Society Central Otago Pinot Noir 2019 $29 
Paired with: Mushroom And Pumpkin Lasagne in NZ Herald Canvas Magazine August 13 2022
Six months in older oak barrels has given this pinot noir a gentle, smoky tone which wraps around a soft, savoury, mushroomy mid-palate and a backbone of bright berries, wild cherries and a bunch of bouquet garni herbs. A lick of pepper and gamey notes gird the layers of flavour in this light, lithe, pinot noir and weaves themselves around this rich, mushroomy, spice-dusted style.
