Tasting notes
The 2016 Te Remus Single Vineyard Pinot Noir has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with cranberry, raspberry coulis and light white pepper and undergrowth aromas. The palate is well balanced, offering sappy red berry fruit and a fine bead of acidity, and quite caressing towards the finish. I like the finely judged generosity here. An excellent Pinot Noir.

On the herbal-floral side of the spectrum, the 2016 Te Rehua Pinot Noir offers hints of rosemary, thyme and rose petals in addition to notes of red plums and dusty earth. It's medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, red-fruit finish. While it doesn't have the robustness of previous vintages, it's still a charming, attractive wine for relatively early consumption.
