About Opawa Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022
The Opawa Marlborough Pinot Noir 2022 opens with an inviting bouquet of fresh red cherries, wild strawberries, and dried rose petals, underpinned by subtle hints of damp earth and a whisper of toasted oak. On the palate, this wine is graceful and expressive, delivering bright red fruit flavours — juicy raspberry and pomegranate — alongside a gentle savouriness of forest floor and dried herbs. The tannins are silky and fine-grained, characteristic of Marlborough's cooler climate Pinot Noir, with lively natural acidity that keeps the wine fresh and vibrant. The finish is clean and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression of red fruits and a delicate spice.
