Cuvar Iris Pinot Noir 2023

Cuvar, a premium brand launched in 2023 by Sir George Fistonich, the ‘father of New Zealand wine ’, has reduced some of its lines. This is a chance to buy a five-star, gold medal-winning pinot at an unbeatable price.

The medium-bodied boasts a deep cherry-red hue and opens with enticing aromas of black cherry, plum and a hint of spice. The palate delivers ripe dried fruit flavours with cinnamon and cocoa notes, all framed by silky refined tannins and a lingering elegant finish. This polished crowd-pleaser is a refined Marlborough Pinot.

Nestled 300 metres above sea level on an isolated peninsula, the Ballochdale Awatere Valley vineyard is surrounded by ravines and 30 hectares of regenerating native bush. This spectacular site produces exceptional fruit.
