The 2024 Inviniti Pinot Noir is a fresh and approachable Marlborough Pinot Noir from New Zealand, produced by Lawson's Dry Hills under its sustainability-focused Inviniti label. Sourced from vineyards in the Wairau Valley, the grapes were cold-soaked before fermentation in stainless steel, with regular hand plunging to preserve vibrant aromatics and bright fruit purity. Produced at a certified net carbon zero winery using 100% sustainably certified fruit, it reflects the winery's commitment to quality and environmental responsibility. The nose is fragrant with aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, complemented by hints of subtle spice, violet and forest herbs.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, juicy red berry fruit and lively natural acidity. Flavours of red cherry, cranberry and plum are layered with delicate notes of spice and earthy undertones, leading to a smooth, balanced finish. Bright, fruit-driven and easy to enjoy, this Pinot Noir offers excellent freshness and versatility, making it an ideal everyday red.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a vibrant Marlborough Pinot Noir that delivers freshness, purity and exceptional value. Pair it with roast chicken, grilled salmon, pork loin, mushroom risotto, pizza or pasta dishes. Enjoy now while its bright fruit and lively character are at their best, slightly chilled if preferred.
