Cadence Pinot Noir, in its youth, shows chocolaty, mocha tones which are mingled with subtle oak and earthiness. With time the fruit tones open up to showcase cassis, red currants and Doris plums. To fully appreciate this wine when young it is best to decanter and serve at room temperature. The palate is well balanced with good acidity and tannins that linger. Our Cadence has an inviting mid palate which is matched by its great length and complexity.

The 2005 Bald Hills Pinot Noir shows very weighty and intensely flavoured fruit. Aromas of clove and violet lead to a silky palate of black cherry and a long, balanced finish.

New Zealand has received a lot of attention for their stunning, world-class Sauvignon Blanc wines, but maybe their most exciting wine is Pinot Noir.
