Marlborough’s cool climate gives an elegant, finely structured, high acid wine which shows the richness of a Pinot Noir dominant blend (70%). Although this dry, mineral, high acid wine is a classic match for oysters, the creamy texture and complex, toasty bouquet compliment a variety of dishes, such smoked salmon and crème fraiche blinis, or goats cheese choux buns. The breadth on the palate pairs well with stronger flavours such as a hint of Indian spices, or a roast chicken.
