Bread and Butter Pinot Noir
California, USA
75cl Bottle
An undeniably juicy Pinot Noir that bursts with cherries, raspberries and a touch of cassis. Rich flavours of fresh fruit join with soft oak to create a beautifully long, smooth finish filled with sweet vanilla.
Three Lions Estate Pinot Noir
Great Southern, Australia
75cl Bottle
Certainly one of the most attractively packaged wines online, but its not all about appearances with this one. Pinot from just three vineyards make this wine.
Heaphy Pinot Noir is a gently perfumed and characterful wine, expressive of Nelson unique breezy and warm terroir. A well-balanced profile, showing plenty of fruit, energy, and desired juiciness.
Montsable Reserve Pinot Noir
Limoux, France
75cl Bottle
This wine comes from the French wine-making project of our good friend and Master Of Wine Fergal Tynan. He's originally from Celbridge and now has fantastic and fanatic wine making projects across the globe. Never far from Grenache or Garnacha, this particular set of wines comes from France and sits under the label they created called Terres Fidèles, which literally means "faithful lands". The team here have identified grape varieties that many others ignore in favour of middle-of-the-road commercialised styles; working with seriously small and tatty-looking plots of land, this is a labour of love and a project that will be years and years in the making before anyone makes any return on investment. But until then, we get the sensational fruit of their labours...! The wine is awesome and is aged in French Oak Barriques.
Shadow Point Pinot Noir
Monterey, California
75cl Bottle
This Pinot combines delicious red cherry and dried cranberry concentration, with a touch of dark spice. The palate has wild bramble and cherry pie notes. It finishes bright, fresh and gently toasty.
Fruit comes from a vineyard in Monterey, California’s Central Coast region and is next to a chain of hills which separate the vineyards from the Pacific coast. The site benefits from the cooling breezes from the Pacific and as such lends itself to Pinot Noir. Fruit is destemmed before undergoing a period of cold maceration. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and 30% of the blend has then spent 8 months on medium toast French oak.
Montes Alpha Pinot Noir
Central Valley, Chile
75cl Bottle
The nose is very aromatic with aromas of red fruits recalling strawberries and tart cherries in liqueur. Fragrances of wild flowers and violets deliver the illusion of sitting in the forest shade.
The palate is juicy, with very balanced acidity and the sweetness of round, ripe tannins. The generous and elegant mid-palate accentuates all of the sensations perceived on the nose, and the finish is remarkable and pleasing.
Montsable Pinot Noir
Limoux, France
75cl Bottle
This classic Burgundian variety has been produced in the sunny climate of Languedoc in the south of France. Although much warmer than the cool climate of the Cote d’Or great care has been taken to ensure that it is every bit as elegant. The nose is aromatic with fresh cherries, strawberry and bramble and just the faintest hint of vanilla. On the palate there is tremendous depth to the fruit which is supported by an underlying minerality and beautifully balanced acidity.
*12 Bottle Case contains 2 of each*
*From time to time vintages/wines may become unavailable, it is rare but in this instance we will replace the wine with a similar wine of equal or greater value.
