Mr Glover Pinot Noir Marlborough 2016
About the wine
Expert Pinot from your 4th-gen New Zealand farmer
- Bright and lively NZ Pinot, full of chipper cherries and zip and zing — the kind of red that makes you leap out of your chair and dance!
- Ben's part of a family line of grape growers and hand-harvested this Pinot from his own property in the north facing slopes of Marlborough. He treats his fruit with every care imaginable (including resting it on over a year's worth of French oak barrels.)
- This Pinot is less hefty than some of the Californian Pinot on the site, and has a fresh, vibrant side that makes it the perfect pairing for more delicate food like blackened salmon!
Best before
It will drink fantastically in 3-5 years, but it's also showing well now for those less patient imbibers.
Serving advice
Open whenever you feel the need for a Pinot Noir made the way it should be.
Food match
Blackened, wood-smoked, wild salmon.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ben Glover
- Ben is an award-winning winemaker who made truly yummy wines for some of New Zealand's biggest brands, but he really missed making small batches of artisan wine from his family vines.
- Angel funding lets him do just that, so we've got a couple small batches of Pinot Noir and Chard (the same varieties that earned him accolades at Wither Hills) and everything gets the royal treatment, every little detail attended to with care and love just short of giving each individual grape a first and last name
- Ben's a specialist at New Zealand Pinot Noir and Chardonnay - his wines are the golden standard for the entire country!
