Sound of White Pinot Noir 2020
DESCRIPTION
In the cool, dry Waihopai Valley in Marlborough, Sound of White crafts wines that reflect their terroir with precision and elegance. This New Zealand Pinot Noir is made from hand-harvested grapes picked in two passes, with meticulous sorting. Most of the grapes are destemmed, but 30% are vinified as whole clusters to add aromatic complexity and structure. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barrels (30% new) to refine texture and depth.
On the palate, it reveals subtle notes of clove, plums, red fruits, and Brazil nuts, supported by silky tannins and refreshing acidity. Perfect with game, aged meats, or a truffle and mushroom risotto, this Marlborough Pinot Noir combines power and finesse. Acclaimed by Cameron Douglas with 94 points and rated 4/5 by the Vivino community.

Marlborough
New Zealand
Marlborough is by far New Zealand’s most important wine region. Located at the northeastern tip of the South Island, this dry, sunny region is home to over 500 wineries and produces nearly 75% of New Zealand’s wine. Warm days, cool nights, and well-drained alluvial soils create ideal conditions for aromatic wines with crisp acidity.
It is here that the Marlborough style of Sauvignon Blanc was born, a style that has taken the world by storm: vibrant, intensely fruity, with herbal notes and a saline minerality. While Sauvignon Blanc dominates, Marlborough also produces excellent Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling, cementing its reputation as New Zealand’s international wine showcase.

An elegant Pinot with cherry and undergrowth aromas. A wine of character that goes wonderfully well with poultry with mushrooms.
