Te Kano Kin Pinot Noir 2021

Te Kano Kin Pinot Noir 2021 from Central Otago is a refined and elegant expression of Pinot Noir, showcasing the unique terroir of the region. The 2021 vintage is noted for its lighter weight and vibrant character, balancing a core of rich fruit with an underlying structure that promises both immediate enjoyment and the potential for ageing.

Nose: The bouquet is an inviting mix of red berries, plum, and raspberry, underpinned by a hint of earthiness. These fresh fruit aromas are complemented by a subtle complexity that makes the wine alluring and sophisticated.

Palate: On the palate, the wine is well-concentrated with bright, juicy fruit flavours, including red cherries and summer berries. The fine tannins and balanced acidity provide a smooth texture and structure, enhancing the wine's elegance. The wine displays a soft finish, allowing the fruit to linger pleasantly on the palate.

Finish: The finish is long and gentle, with the fresh fruit flavours persisting, making it a versatile wine suitable for a range of dishes or as an elegant sipping wine.

This Pinot Noir is ideal for enjoying now, but it also has the potential to develop further complexity with some ageing, suggested for drinking from now through to 2030​.
