The 2023 Sparrow & Barrow Pinot Noir is a vibrant and elegant expression of Marlborough's cool-climate terroir. With a luminous ruby hue, it opens on the nose with aromas of dark cherry, boysenberry, and a subtle hint of spice. Underneath, soft notes of wild herbs and forest floor add depth and complexity.

On the palate, this Pinot is smooth and savoury, showcasing bright red fruit, silky tannins, and a fine line of acidity that carries the wine through to a refined, lingering finish. Gentle oak integration lends structure without overshadowing the fruit purity.

Versatile and food-friendly, this wine pairs beautifully with dishes like roast duck, grilled vegetables, or mushroom risotto. A balanced and approachable Pinot Noir that captures both finesse and flavour.
