From Clos Henri, the Pinot Noir grapes for Bel Echo 2018 were sourced from vines between 10-15 years of age growing in free-draining Greywacke riverstone soils. Bright on the nose and palate with fresh cherry, sun-kissed raspberry, earthy mineral, flint, baking and smoky spicy flavours on the palate with balanced acidity. Tannins are velvety. A Marlborough PN that is very Burgundian in style. Drink or hold.

Pinot Noir food pairings: baked mushrooms stuffed with cream cheese crab and green onion, mushroom and onion risotto, cheese and potatoes rissole.

The Pinot Noir grapes for Bel Echo 2018 were sourced from vines between 10 and 15 years of age growing in free-draining Greywacke Riverstone soils. Fresh on the nose with cherry, plum with earthy, mineral and flinty flavours on the palate balanced with spot on acidity and velvety tannins. A beautifully crafted Marlborough PN produced by Sancerre wine producer Clos Henri. - Community Wine Reviews
