WINE DESCRIPTION
Established in 1985, the Glover Family Vineyards have inspired the family’s passion for wine. Organic Pinot Noir fruit is sourced from the Settlement Block nestled in the sheltered north-facing Southern Valleys of the Wairau Plains. The vineyard features a mix of clay and gravel soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle handling, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Pinot Noir, with a medium body, silky tannins, and flavors of red berries, cherries, and subtle spice notes. Zephyr Pinot Noir is a must-try for any wine lover looking for a high-quality, elegant wine from New Zealand.
