HANS HERZOG PINOT NOIR 2021

This wine represents 500 years of Pinot winegrowing heritage and 50 years of crafting it, culminating in one of New Zealand's most magnificent yet understated Pinot Noirs. Hans’ expertise with the varietal results in a powerful and rich expression of Burgundy's finest grape, marked by striking aromas, purity, and a silky texture. The wine is matured in French oak barriques for 24 months and then aged in the bottle for over 2 years before release.

With yields rivalling those of a Grand Cru, this Pinot Noir's dark ruby hue hints at its grandeur. Intensely aromatic, it unveils layers of dark berries, cherries, violets and warm spices. The palate is deep and earthbound, with magnificent complexity, where sumptuous, silky tannins meet a savoury acidity. This refined elegance, reminiscent of Burgundy's finest, culminates in a long, lingering finish, promising remarkable aging potential for the discerning collector.
