TASTING NOTES

Millton Vineyards 'La Cote' Pinot Noir 2024 exemplifies the pinnacle of biodynamic winemaking in New Zealand, crafted from a unique collection of modern Pinot Noir clones. Since 1989, Millton has committed to dry farming and biodynamic cultivation, ensuring sustainable practices that enhance both vineyard health and wine quality.

This Pinot Noir draws inspiration from Old World elegance, focusing on delicacy and digestibility rather than overpowering fruit or heavy oak influence. The result is a refined wine with a bright, expressive nose featuring notes of dark cherry, juniper berry, fennel, and manuka flower. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance of savory flavors, firm tannins, and ripe fruit, finishing with a lively mineral edge that adds complexity and finesse.

Unfined and unfiltered, 'La Cote' maintains its natural vibrancy and authenticity, offering a wine that pairs beautifully with aromatic cuisine and sophisticated dining experiences. Recognized as one of New Zealand’s great producers, Millton Vineyards continues to set the standard for sustainable viticulture and exceptional Pinot Noir production.

So pretty and perfumed with aromas of wild strawberries, raspberry bush, citrus peel and bark. The light-bodied palate has crunchy tannins and bright acidity, showing redcurrants, dried herbs, pencil and spices. Delicious. Drink now. Screw cap.
