Product Notes

Escarpment Kiwa Pinot Noir is a magnificent wine hailing from New Zealand’s Martinborough region. It possesses a tantalising, deep ruby hue and bursts with complex, multi-layered flavours. A seductive bouquet of ripe cherries, dark forest fruits, and subtly earthy undertones is unveiled on the nose. With its elegant palate boasting notes of spices, plum, and velvety tannins, this medium-bodied Pinot Noir delivers an excellent balance of acidity and fruit. Aged in French oak barrels, there’s a distinct impression of finesse and structure. Designed for aging, Escarpment Kiwa Pinot Noir concludes with a supremely focused, long-lasting finish. Truly a connoisseur’s delight.

Tasting Notes

A combination of deep alluvial gravels which the Martinborough Terraces are renowned for, and a blend of Clones UCD 5 and 6 always rewards us with savory, complex, spicy wine.
