Intense aromas of dark blueberries and black currents meld together with a subtle touch of vanilla, cedar and spice. The wine has good aging potential and will reward those that have the patience to cellar it for several years.
"A great Pinot Noir takes real work. The cultivar is demanding and difficult, the results can be wild and unpredictable – but when it all comes together, the wondrous depth and complexity are rarely equaled. And that’s why this is the perfect tribute to our beloved Nonno Mario. Confident and assured, brimming with warm strength and character. A New Zealand Pinot masterfully crafted with the depth and style that will find favour with an Italian palate just like Nonno Mario’s. He would have raised this glass with a smile. The heart and body of this wine may be pure New Zealand... but the soul is true Italia. Salute, Nonno!” - JK.14 notes
It is a great wine to drink. Always great to taste a fabulous chardonnay. Hope you can bring the Domaine Collotte Chardonnay. It will sell like very well in New Zealand. Please advise when it is available.
For this sort of money you could buy a decent NZ chard....but this wine transcends you to a small village to the east of the Rhone on a balmy summers night...once you have been there you will want to go back again and again
Not tasted yet but have been buying this wine from Wine Direct for as long as they have been importing it .....fact is Grand Veneur only make the good stuff
