The Pounamu Pinot Noir Special Selection from Vinultra represents an expression of refinement and quality emanating from the picturesque wine region of New Zealand. Characterized by an intense aromatic bouquet, this Pinot Noir delights the nose with notes of ripe red fruit such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by nuances of vanilla and sweet spices, a result of aging in French oak barrels.

On the palate, the Pounamu Pinot Noir Special Selection stands out for its balanced and harmonious structure. The entry is soft and inviting, evolving elegantly towards a mid-palate rich with flavors of forest fruits, hints of damp earth, and a subtle mineral vein that adds freshness and complexity. The tannins are silky and well integrated, contributing to a long and pleasantly persistent finish.

Produced in limited quantities, this special selection is the result of a rigorous selection of the finest Pinot Noir grapes, hand-picked at the optimal moment of ripeness to ensure the maximum expression of the region's unique terroir. With a potential longevity of several years, it is recommended to decant this wine for a few minutes before serving to enhance all its nuances.

Ideal for pairing with sophisticated dishes such as roasted duck, dishes based on wild mushrooms, or aged cheeses, the Pounamu Pinot Noir Special Selection is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir enthusiasts looking for a wine with a distinctive character and a fascinating story behind it.
