Hailing from Marlborough’s sun-soaked slopes, Sliding Hill Pinot Noir 2021 is crafted to showcase pure fruit expression and easy elegance. Carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes are fermented in stainless steel with a portion matured in oak, creating a wine that balances freshness, softness, and just a hint of savoury complexity.
Bouquet Vibrant red cherry, raspberry, and plum notes with delicate hints of violet and a subtle earthy undertone.
Palate Smooth and silky with juicy red berry flavours, soft spice, and a touch of forest floor. Fine tannins and a bright, fresh finish make this a beautifully approachable style, full of Marlborough charm.
Food Pairing Perfect with roast duck, chargrilled vegetables, lamb koftas, or mushroom pizza. Also a lovely companion to cheese platters and casual gatherings.
Interesting Fact Sliding Hill takes its name from the dramatic sloping vineyard site where these grapes grow—helping capture extra sunlight and intensity in every berry.
Rated 92 Points by Cameron Douglas, it is a fine pinot from the talented Auntsfield team. Perfect for cellaring or pairing with earthy mushroom risottos or duck dishes.
