Rapaura Springs Rohe Southern Valley Pinot Noir 2020

Rapaura Springs Rohe Southern Valley Pinot Noir 2020
is an elegant and complex red wine from the Marlborough region of New Zealand, specifically the Southern Valleys, which is known for producing high-quality Pinot Noir.

Flavor profile:

Color: Clear ruby ​​red

Aroma: Complex nose with notes of cherries, dark berries, forest floor, spices and a touch of toasted oak.

Taste: Silky and refined with layers of red and dark berries (cherries, blackberries), subtle spices, earthy nuances and a balanced acidity. The oak ageing provides structure and fine tannins.

Aftertaste: Long, elegant and mineral with notes of vanilla and smoked wood.

Production:

Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

Ageing: Partially aged in French oak barrels (typically 10–12 months), which provides finesse and depth without overpowering the natural character of the grape.

Alcohol: Approximately 13.5%

Food pairing:

Goes well with dishes with duck, veal, mushrooms, game or grilled vegetables. Also ideal with semi-soft cheeses such as brie or camembert.

Wine style:

This wine is a fine example of New Zealand’s terroir-driven Pinot Noir: aromatic, fresh and balanced, yet with depth and complexity. The “Rohe” series focuses on micro-terroir, and this wine shows what the Southern Valleys can deliver in terms of character and finesse.
