WINE DESCRIPTION
Kumeu River Rays Road Pinot Noir is crafted from grapes grown on the north-facing slopes of the Rays Road vineyard in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The vineyard's limestone-rich soils and maritime climate contribute to the wine's vibrant acidity and mineral character. The Pinot Noir grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a gentle fermentation process in open-top fermenters, followed by aging in French oak barrels to enhance complexity and structure. This wine offers a balanced expression of red fruit flavors, with subtle earthy undertones and a silky texture, making it an approachable yet sophisticated choice for Pinot Noir enthusiasts.
