Greenhough Stones Nelson Throw Pinot Noir 2020

Information

93/100 Bob Campbell’s Real Wine Review, 25 Feb 2021
“Delicately-scented pinot noir with a charming fruity, floral lift. Moderately weighty on the palate with floral, red rose, dark cherry, plum and a suggestion of anise and spice. Bright acidity and peppery tannins add a little energy. Very good value at this price.” 

Attractively aromatic. Summer berry-fruits, citrusy, floral notes and a lightly spiced, herbal fragrance. Suggestive of the outdoors. Earth, mushroom notes evolve as the wine opens in the glass. The palate is vibrant and brightly red-fruited with a light spicy savouriness and supple structure of well-bound tannins. There is a depth in the exotic guava and quince which have a secondary, preserve-like richness. A refreshing plum-skin tanginess and chalky, minerality balances these ripper flavours.
