Kahurangi Four Barrels Pinot Noir 2019

Winemaking
Made from just four specially selected French oak barrels, this small-batch Pinot Noir showcases the elegance and ripeness of Nelson’s coastal climate. Hand-picked fruit, gentle fermentation, and oak ageing create a wine with layered character and smooth, savoury depth.

Bouquet
Aromatic with dark cherry, wild raspberry, and plum. Subtle hints of dried herb, cedar, and forest floor add nuance and complexity.

Palate
Medium-bodied and silky with red fruit, spice, and soft tannins. A touch of earthiness and oak leads into a long, seamless finish.

Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with lamb, duck, roasted mushrooms, or smoked beetroot. A versatile wine for both comforting and refined dishes.

Cellaring
Drinking well now but will evolve gracefully over 4–6 years, gaining savoury depth and polish.

Interesting Fact
Each vintage of Four Barrels is handcrafted in tiny volumes, making it a rare and personal expression of both place and winemaking style.
