Main Divide 2019 Waipara Valley Pinot Noir 750ml

Hailing from the Pegasus Bay stable, this label always offers excellent value for money. This particular example offers fragrant refreshment. It is brightly fruited with attractive herbal characters thanks to around one quarter of the wine undergoing whole-bunch fermentation, which also adds lovely sinew and sense of purpose. It might not be the most intense wine nor sport the longest length, but it does offer a lot of refined pleasure at this price. Enjoy in the short to medium term for its aromatic appeal.
