Huia - Pinot Noir - Marlborough

This 2014 Huia Pinot Noir is a delightful blend. Most of its grapes are sourced from the Brancott Valley, while the rest come from the stony loam of the Wairau Valley. It's a mix of old and new vines - some over twenty years old, others just entering their first decade in the soil. On the nose, you'll detect rich black - red fruits along with smoky, savory notes. The palate is full of dark cherry flavors, with hints of blackberry, spice, chocolate, and vanilla pod, creating a savory, earthy, and well - balanced Pinot Noir experience.

To enjoy this Huia Pinot Noir, first let it breathe for about 30 minutes before pouring. Serve it at a cool temperature, around 55 - 60°F. This wine pairs well with a variety of foods like grilled chicken, beef, and pasta with tomato - based sauces. Store it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and strong vibrations. Avoid sudden temperature changes as they can affect the wine's flavor. If you have any leftovers, cork the bottle tightly and keep it in the fridge. It can stay fresh for a couple of days, but it's best to finish it soon for the best taste.
