On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and robust, with a velvety texture and flavors of dark cherries, plum, and sweet tobacco. The finish lingers, with a touch of sweet oak on the end.

ORIGINS
Winery: Mohua
Region: Central Otago
Huddled in the bottom of New Zealand's South Island, Central Otago is the world's southernmost wine region. With its unique terroir, Central Otago is home to some of the country's most exciting and distinctive wines.
Central Otago's wine industry began in the late 19th century, when the first vines were planted in the region. However, it wasn't until the 1980s that the region began to gain recognition for its wines. Since then, the region has become one of New Zealand's most important wine regions, producing some of the country's most sought-after Pinot Noirs.CUSTOMER RATING
