Whitehaven Pinot Noir 2021

Marlborough, New Zealand

GOLD MEDAL | Sakura Japan Women's Wine Awards 2024
FIVE STARS 94/100 | Sam Kim Wine Orbit
93/100 | Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
92/100 'Premium' | Cameron Douglas MS

Brightly framed and beautifully perfumed, this is quality pinot noir from a winery with a long-held reputation as one of Marlborough’s better producers. The bouquet is very pretty with floral notes underpinning the primary spicy cherry and plum aromas. The palate is supple and silky with soft tannins cradling those black and red fruits. Subtle notes of forest floor / mushroom add an extra dimension, while a nice line of firm acidity holds everything together and ensures the palate remains long and fresh.

Tasting Notes

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Splendidly ripe and inviting, the bouquet shows dark berry, cured meat, earthy mushroom and toasted almond notes, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate displaying plump mouthfeel and plush texture. Tannins are fine and silky, framing the wine beautifully."

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Varietal, fresh, youthful and lifted bouquet and palate of Pinot. Flavours of fresh red cherry and plums, there are moments of black and red currant then roses, strawberry and wild flowers. On the palate texture from tannins and acidity deliver a youthful, taut mouthfeel that relaxes as the wine opens out. Flavours of fruit and moderate oak influences, some vanilla barrel spices continue to unfold as the wine becomes ambient. Crunchy textures, plenty of acidity and fruit, varietal and sound."

Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews writes "Deep purple with a ruby core, lighter on the rim. This has a savoury bouquet enveloping aromas of thyme, black cherry, black raspberry, nutmeg and cinnamon quill. Medium-full bodied, aromas of black cherry and black raspberry melded with thyme, nutmeg and cinnamon and lingering with black pepper to a sustained finish. The fruit shows good depth and acidity balance, flows harmoniously with silky tannin possesses light firmness, providing structure and a chewy mouthfeel."
