About this wine

A Pinot Noir with Elegance and Depth

Produced by the Rose family, pioneers of Marlborough winemaking, Wairau River Reserve Pinot Noir 'Black Label' is crafted from the finest hand-harvested grapes grown on their estate vineyards. Small-batch fermentation and careful ageing in French oak barrels ensure a wine of exceptional balance and complexity.

Layers of dark cherry, ripe plum and wild berry unfold in every sip, with subtle hints of spice and silky tannins adding to its allure. Serve slightly chilled at 14–16°C alongside roast duck, mushroom risotto or a classic beef Wellington.
