{"product_id":"2022-valli-waitaki-vineyard-pinot-noir","title":"2022 Valli 'Waitaki Vineyard' Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003eFrom the pioneering Valli Wines, the 2022 Waitaki Vineyard Pinot Noir hails from North Otago, one of New Zealand’s coolest and most distinctive winegrowing regions. Here, limestone-rich soils and a marginal climate lend Pinot Noir a particularly fragrant, mineral-driven character, producing wines of elegance and precision rather than sheer weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003eThe 2022 opens with wild strawberry, red cherry and pomegranate, complemented by violet, wild thyme, cedar and a subtle thread of smoky spice. On the palate, it is beautifully fine and lifted, with layers of tart cherry, blood plum, and savoury earthy character underscored by a distinctive chalky minerality. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity provide excellent structure, carrying the wine through a long, saline finish. There is a compelling interplay between delicate red fruit, savoury complexity and crystalline freshness, giving the wine both immediate charm and considerable ageing potential. A wonderfully restrained and site-driven expression of New Zealand Pinot Noir, showcasing the distinctive character of the Waitaki Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valli","offers":[{"title":"750ml \/ Waitaki","offer_id":54167467884827,"sku":"129987","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/0457\/7307\/files\/valli_waitaki_vineyard_pinot_noir_2022.jpg?v=1791518226","url":"https:\/\/finewinemerchant.com.au\/products\/2022-valli-waitaki-vineyard-pinot-noir","provider":"Fine Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
