The Story Behind the Wine:
The 2017 Tinpot Hut Pinot Noir is a classic example of cool-climate Pinot Noir from the Marlborough region of New Zealand.

Partially aged in French oak barrels, the wine retains its bright fruit character while gaining depth and complexity, making it an excellent choice for Pinot Noir lovers looking for a balance of fruit and finesse.
