In the glass, this wine displays a bright ruby red color and offers aromas of ripe cherries, strawberries, and subtle hints of vanilla and spices. On the palate, it is smooth and elegant, with a medium body and soft tannins, making it an easy-drinking wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, including roasted poultry, grilled fish, and pasta with tomato-based sauces. The finish is long and fruity, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.
 

The 2011 Voltumna pinot nero is made using 100% biodynamic pinot noir grapes.

It is from two nine year old Pinot Noir vines situated on the highest point of the vineyard surrounded by the woods.

Each vine has its own characteristic because each grows in a different kind of soil.

Dark cherry and plum skin come first, followed by crushed dried herbs, black tea and a faint whiff of turned earth. In the mouth the fruit is compact and a little brooding, with sour cherry and blood orange acidity keeping things lively, and a peppery, almost gamey edge running underneath.

romatically it opens on morello cherry, cranberry and a little pink peppercorn, with a leafy, almost sappy note underneath that reads as high-altitude Pinot Noir. The palate carries strawberry and rhubarb through the middle, then turns drier and more savoury towards the back, picking up dried thyme and a faint whiff of woodsmoke. 

Juicy red berries and spice dance with earthy notes in this elegant, cool-climate Pinot.

Great concentration with intricately woven layers of sweet red and blue/black fruit, dried herb and distinctive earthy flavours complementing a highly focused palate with great intensity and length

This award winning Pinot Noir is both sophisticated and “classic”, expressing intensity and poise from great sites in Central Otago.

The wine shows bright raspberry, pomegranate and red currant fruits as well as cherry pit and rose petals. The palate is fine and chewy with more red fruits as well as cinnamon, mace and clove characters. It is precise and well defined. While the wine is not intended for long term cellaring it will benefit from 3 to 5 years rest.
