Te Kano 'Kin' Central Pinot Noir 2021
Massive savings for this Central Otago Pinot Noir. Rarely do we see Pinots of this providence under $20.
Lifted red fruits flow through to a fragrant, spicy finish. This is a bargain and deserves your 'quaffer opportunity' attention.
"We believe in the beauty of connections at Te Kano. Between family and friends, wine and food, grapevines and the soil. Our Estate vineyards are testament to this, with organic practices and an extensive Kōwhai rejuvenation project strengthening the web of ecology and our links with the land we love.
Kin is a deliciously vibrant wine made to enliven any gatherings of family and friends. A dark and brooding Pinot Noir with aromas of black cherry, plum and chocolate. Black cherry, cola and spice follow through on the palate with orange peel nuances and a distinctive dried herb bouquet." Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"A lighter weighted wine with a core of pinosity and generosity, flavours of red berries then some plum and raspberry scents. Fine tannins and acidity secure a decent structure ushering in flavours of berries and plum to reflect the bouquet. Balanced and well made, a wine for immediate drinking as well as some ageing potential. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2030+. Or cellar through 2027 then continue drinking." 92+/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2024
"Delightfully ripe and immediately enticing, the wine shows dark cherry, game, thyme, toasted almond and fragrant spice aromas on the nose. The palate is equally satisfying with supple texture backed by finely infused tannins, finishing splendidly long and delectable. At its best: now to 2029." 5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2024 (2021 Vintage)
