The 2024 Saint Clair Origin Pinot Noir Half Bottle (375ml) is a vibrant and fruit-forward Marlborough red, offering the same expressive character of the full bottle in a more accessible, early-drinking format. Crafted from selected vineyards, it highlights ripe berry intensity with elegance and smooth structure. The nose is inviting and aromatic, with notes of black cherry, raspberry and plum, layered with hints of spice, dried herbs and subtle toasted oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins and fresh acidity, showing juicy red and dark fruit alongside gentle spice and savoury complexity. The finish is smooth, refined and lightly toasty, with a polished and approachable style. The half bottle format makes it ideal for earlier enjoyment, maintaining freshness and convenience.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is perfect for customers looking for a quality Pinot Noir in a smaller format. It opens up quickly and is easy to enjoy without committing to a full bottle. Drink now or over the next 2–4 years. Ideal with roast chicken, duck, grilled meats or mushroom dishes.
