Gunboat Point Pinot Noir 2012

Intense aromas and ripe, gently spiced summer berry flavours, and that classic poise and finesse. No wonder the Times says “Burgundy now has a serious New World rival” that will “knock the rest of the Pinot Noir gang for six”. Because Gunboat Pinot Noir comes from the hottest address for this seductive grape – Central Otago. The southern tip of New Zealand’s South Island boasts a who’s who of Kiwi wine talent and the top wines here now command up to £35 a bottle. World acclaimed Pinot maestro Nigel Greening (whose day job is at one of those top end boutique estates) has used all his expertise and contacts to help us find the wine, giving you a taste of Otago’s finest style. A must with tuna steaks, white meats or mushroom risotto.
