KAI Pinot Noir 2024
$169.00
The 2024 KAI opens with an expressive bouquet of dark cherries and ripe plums, layered with fragrant hints of sandalwood and pipe tobacco. On the palate, vibrant notes of raspberries lift the richness, weaving through a core of red fruit. Undertones of dark chocolate add depth and length, carried by a fine and graceful tannin structure. A poised and elegant Pinot Noir that balances concentration with finesse, reflecting the purity and complexity of the Wairarapa.
About Wine
Wairarapa
Cool, damp weather during flowering resulted in reduced yields. Conditions over the second half of the growing season were near to perfect, which delivered fantastic fruit into the winery.
