Wooing Tree Blondie is an innovative take on Central Otago Pinot Noir—crafted as a white wine made from red grapes. The 2023 fruit was gently whole bunch pressed with minimal skin contact, giving the wine its signature pale gold hue. Fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve delicate aromatics, this dry style retains the vibrancy of Pinot Noir with the elegance of a white wine.
Bouquet Fresh and subtle with aromas of white peach, pear and citrus blossom. Hints of nectarine and rose petal add lift and charm.
Palate Bright and dry with a silky texture and refreshing acidity. Flavours of stone fruit, lemon zest and a touch of red berry glide across a smooth, delicate palate. The finish is crisp, elegant and lightly floral.
Food Pairing Perfect with summer salads, seafood, sushi, or soft cheeses. Also delicious as an aperitif or with grilled chicken and Mediterranean fare.
Interesting Fact Blondie is made from 100% Pinot Noir, but crafted like a white wine—proving that Central Otago Pinot is just as captivating without the colour.
