Putangi Pinot Noir 2023

Named after the dinghy Richard Henry used to rescue New Zealand’s rarest birds, including the Kakapo and Kiwi, Putangi is a tribute to dedication and conservation. Richard Henry's tireless work in transferring birds to the safety of Resolution Island is reflected in the inspiration behind this wine—rich, captivating, and full of character.

Smells
A bouquet of dark berry fruits, with black cherries and wild raspberries, infused with the warmth of cinnamon doughnuts, vanilla, and subtle baking spices.

Tastes
This Pinot Noir is a textural delight, offering a salivating and complex experience. Unlike typical fruit-forward Pinots, Putangi showcases vibrancy and charm, with sensual tannins that gracefully coat the palate. Flavors of red fruits, dusty cinnamon, and vanilla evolve with a stone-sucking texture that lingers on the finish. Delicious now, but it will age beautifully for 8-10 years or more. Pair with gamey meats or pasta for a truly memorable experience.
