Nga Waka Three Paddles Pinot Noir 2025
An impressive follow up on the 2024 vintage.
"A distinctive varietal bouquet led by scents of plums and dark cherry, some earthy smoky barrel spice layers, a mix of clay mineral and sweet wood quality. Dry, textured with fine tannins, crisp with medium+ acid line and flavours of strawberry and cherry fruits, some red apple and earthy energy. Balanced though youthful with some tautness with best drinking from 2028 through 2033." 92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"Red berries and cherries mixed with spicy and earthy notes. The texture of the wine is soft with supple tannins and carries flavours of red fruits and spice through the palate to a soft, persistent finish.
De-stemmed only. Total maceration time was 17 to 21 days. Malolactic fermentation in barrel, tight-grain French oak barriques (11% new). 10 months in oak." Winery notes
