Duke of Cromwell Central Otago Pinot Noir 2023
Trust your Taste
Sweet plum and juicy fruit meet clove, olive and a toasted-nut note in this Central Otago Pinot Noir. Silky texture and fine tannins make it immediately inviting. Try it with a lamb burger or pork ribs if you like a rounded Pinot with a little savoury interest.
