Product Notes

Escarpment Kupe Pinot Noir is a captivating New Zealand red wine. Hailing from Martinborough's famed terrains, this wine embodies a striking symbiosis of elegance and intensity. It flaunts a crimson hue and boasts a rich bouquet of red fruits, earthy spice, and delicate florals. Upon tasting, a vibrant medley of cherry and plum, seamlessly blending with subtle undertones of savoury spices, is surprisingly evident. Its bold flavours are elegantly balanced by tannins, achieving a silky smooth finish. Ideally aged, each sip of Escarpment Kupe Pinot Noir imparts a sensational, long-lasting experience to the discerning palate. A masterful wine that epitomises sophistication.

Tasting Notes

The full-bodied, rich 2019 Kupe Pinot Noir is a lovely example of how size doesn't have to mean a loss of elegance. Bold black cherry and plum flavors combine with nuances of cola spice and mocha to yield ample complexity, while the palate is plush and velvety, seamlessly extending through a lingering finish. While delicious now, I expect it will drink well for more than a decade.
