The 2025 Black Estate Treble Pinot Noir is an elegant New Zealand red from North Canterbury, showing red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry alongside violet, forest herbs and subtle earthy spice. Its cool-climate character brings bright freshness and aromatic lift, while fine mineral notes add depth and definition to the fruit.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with vibrant acidity, silky tannins and layers of red fruit, savoury herbs and gentle spice. Fresh cherry and raspberry flavours are joined by subtle earthy, floral and mineral nuances, creating a detailed and balanced palate. The texture is supple and polished, while the fine tannins provide structure without overpowering the delicate fruit. The finish is dry, long and persistent, leaving a refreshing savoury and mineral impression.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir drinkers who enjoy elegant New Zealand reds with freshness, fine texture and layered complexity. The wine is approachable in its youth but has enough structure and acidity to develop further in bottle. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Pair with roast duck and cherry jus, herb-crusted lamb loin, pork tenderloin with fennel and apple, wild mushroom and thyme risotto, or grilled salmon with beetroot and fresh herbs.
