Cuvar Iris Marlborough Pinot Noir 2023

This Pinot Noir is from Cuvar's Ballochdale Vineyard, high in the Awatere Valley in Marlborough. This is the first wine Sir George made from this vineyard he acquired in 2023. The vineyard sits at 300m high and is one of the highest and most southerly vineyards in the Awatere Valley, Marlborough.

This truly is a gorgeous example of a perfectly crafted Marlborough Pinot Noir. A bouquet reminiscent of Christmas cake mix and chocolate. Gorgeous ripe dried fruit notes with a hint of spice on the front palate. The structure reminiscent of delicate silk over homespun linen. A timeless crowd-pleasing Pinot Noir.

ABV: 13.5%

Bubblicious

Delicious white wines!

I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.

Rich and fruity

This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.

A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay

Delicious light, crisp unoaked wine with citrus notes. Perfect summer wine … very drinkable with or without food.
