Growers Mark Single Vineyard Marlborough Pinot Noir 2024
Trust your Taste
Ripe Doris plum, dark cherry and raspberry-jam flavours give this Marlborough Pinot Noir an inviting, fruit-filled character. Floral notes and a touch of toasty oak add detail, while balanced tannins keep the mouthful approachable. Try it with duck, pork ribs or lamb.

How this wine feels
The generous fruit makes the wine feel rounded, with enough tannin to give it shape. Its ripe, almost jam-like flavours are a fruit character: the wine was fermented to dryness. Expect moderate weight and a gentle oak accent rather than a strongly savoury finish.
The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
How much presence and firmness the wine has in your mouth.
The drying, gripping feeling on your gums.
The fresh, mouth-watering edge of the wine.
Bitter, herbal or savoury character beyond the fruit.
How smooth and rounded the wine feels.
Ripe fruit character. This is not a sugar-sweetness rating.
