DUCK HUNTER

Duck Hunter Pinot Noir 2024

Trust your Taste

Dark cherry leads into a smooth, savoury finish in this Marlborough Pinot Noir. Medium in weight, it offers fruit intensity with manageable tannins. Try it when you want an approachable red with a little more savoury detail than a simple fruit-led style.

Medium weight, smooth grip and a clear savoury finish suit Broad palates comfortable with fruit and savoury detail. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy smooth, medium-bodied reds with cherry fruit and a savoury finish.

It may not suit you if you want a very sweet-fruited red without savoury notes.

How this wine feels

This sits in the middle for weight, with smooth tannins giving the fruit gentle shape. The finish becomes more savoury as the cherry flavours fade. It should suit someone who enjoys a comfortable texture but still wants a red with definition.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
