2022 Tiwha Pinot Noir

Elegant and refined, the foundation Tiwha instantly captivates with a rich perfume of black forest, wet earth, exotic anise seed, fragrant wild roses, with a savoury hint of wild thyme, green olives, and dusted cocoa. Delicate, yet well structured tannin is supported by an oak finesse, framing the brambled palate. 

Sweet yet savoury notes of black currant and dark black cherry are well balanced with a brickish minerality that flows through to finish the wine. Evolution from time in the glass is rewarded.

Typically some secondary character profiles will evolve after 3-4 years, while retaining fruit vibrancy. With careful cellaring, flavours will age gracefully into more tertiary and complex characters, around 8-10 years old.

Enjoy with a wide range of food, however this wine matches exceptionally well with game, mushroom and truffle dishes. A broad array of spices can be successfully paired to the wine’s flavours – get creative and best of all, enjoy with good company.

The iconic label is the work of Chris Heaphy, famed New Zealand artist and creator of all the Coal Pit labels.
