Sandhills Pinot Noir 2021 is a distinguished red wine from New Zealand's renowned Marlborough region, representing the pinnacle of cool-climate viticulture. Crafted from 100% hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes, this wine embodies meticulous winemaking techniques and the unique terroir of its origin.

Carefully fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, the wine develops remarkable complexity and structure. The resulting profile is a harmonious blend of intense red and black fruit characteristics, including ripe cherry, raspberry, and plum, complemented by intriguing spice notes of black pepper and vanilla.

The palate is full-bodied and deeply flavorful, with firm yet well-integrated tannins providing excellent balance. Its earthy undertones and rich fruit profile make this Pinot Noir an exceptional choice for wine enthusiasts seeking a bold, sophisticated New Zealand red wine. Best enjoyed at cellar temperature to fully appreciate its nuanced flavor profile.
