Cherry Block Central Otago Pinot Noir

Bottle notes

Cherry Block will take you on a journey to a special part of New Zealand, the southernmost wine region in the world, Central Otago. The extreme continental climate of Central Otago is one of fiercely cold nights and long summer days. It is these intense conditions combined with the lush surrounding cherry orchards that serve to create the vivid, rich and spicy nature of Cherry Block Pinot Noir.

Youthfully expressed and delightfully lifted, the wine shows sweet raspberry, cherry, floral, subtle spice and almond characters. The palate delivers lovely weight and roundness together with fine texture and bright acidity, finishing long and refreshing. Great by itself or enjoyed with venison, duck and turkey.

AWARDS: 90 Pts & 4.5 Stars - Wine Orbit

“It’s brightly fruited and fragrant on the nose with sweet plum, strawberry, thyme and floral characters, followed by a fruit-expressive palate that’s juicy and flowing. Attractively styled with vibrant fruit flavours and smooth texture, making it immediately appealing.”
