Matua Pinot Noir : A Symphony of New Zealand Terroir

Matua Pinot Noir is a captivating expression of New Zealand’s cool climate viticulture, celebrated for its vibrant fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and smooth, silky texture. The wine is known for its bright, fruit-forward style, making it an excellent choice for both novice and seasoned wine enthusiasts seeking approachable elegance. On the nose, this Pinot Noir entices with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, and subtle notes of spice, which lead into a palate brimming with luscious red fruit flavors, underscored by a touch of oak from aging in French and American barrels. The balanced acidity provides a refreshing lift, while the soft tannins contribute to a lingering, satisfying finish.

Produced in Matua's vineyards across New Zealand’s North and South Islands, the diverse terroir adds layers of complexity to this wine. Following fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate fruit aromas, the wine undergoes maturation in oak barrels to enhance depth and bring subtle earthy and toasty nuances.

Founded in 1974, Matua is renowned for its pioneering spirit in New Zealand's wine industry, being the first to produce Sauvignon Blanc in the region. The winery’s expertise extends to producing exceptional Pinot Noir, offering a harmonious blend of innovation and tradition.

Matua Pinot Noir’s versatility makes it an ideal pairing for a wide range of dishes. It complements roasted chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, and even soft cheeses, making it a great choice for meals that call for a lighter red wine with balanced fruit and acidity.
