Bellbird Spring

River Terrace Pinot Noir 2015

This is from the Waipara Valley in Canterbury just north of Christchurch and not to be confused with Wairarapa just north of Wellington in Martinborough. Must try more Pinots from this region. Not as full bodied as Otago being more minerally from the Gravel soils. — 7 years ago

Waipara Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Fantastic, if understated Sauv Blanc from the preeminent Waipara area of NZ! Starts very calm, but opens to a. Beautiful bouquet of citrus, vanilla, even kiwi and breadfruits - first taste was underwhelming . . . but just wait for this to open!! — 7 years ago
