2019 Dry River Pinot Noir 750ml

Dry River, one of New Zealand’s most celebrated boutique producers, has long been regarded as a benchmark for Martinborough Pinot Noir. With low-yielding vines, meticulous viticulture, and a philosophy of purity and finesse, Dry River releases are highly allocated and eagerly sought after.

The 2019 Pinot Noir shows a vivid ruby colour in the glass. Aromas of strawberry, red cherry, rose petals, and spice mingle with subtle earthy notes and fine oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet concentrated, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and layers of red fruit, spice, and mineral nuance. The finish is long, graceful, and persistent, marking it as both immediately appealing and cellar-worthy.
