2016 Terroir Project Pinot Noir - Case of 12 Deal
Case of 12 Bottles
This 2016 Terroir Project Marlborough Pinot Noir totally overdelivers on quality, taste and above all, price. This Pinot Noir is sourced from the famous Calrossie Vineyard (where it's Grand Reserve Pinot Noir is $50 a bottle), and offers incredible red fruit aromas, a juicy yet savoury palate and complex tertiary notes from time and evolution in barrel and bottle.
Terroir Project ("Tear-wah Pro-ject") is a new project of single-vineyard wines showcasing unique terroirs from around New Zealand and Australia. The wines are incredible translations of vineyard site and soil, and for the technically minded among us, the back labels offer all of the following information on each wine too.
