Chancellor Waipara
New Zealand is becoming ever-more famous for its Pinots, and this is one of the better ones, and at a relatively affordable price. The lightness of the grape allows this wine to match up with delicate foods, while the robustness of the wine-making ensures that it is not overwhelmed by foods with a stronger flavour. The Chancellor vineyards are located in the lee of Mount Cass, and the free-draining limestone provides an excellent terroir for the development of a character-laden pinot.
This wine was pressed by traditional basket press, maturation took place in French Oak barriques to produce a distinctive berry-fruit character that is enhanced with spicy oak and goes well with most any food you can imagine. One concrete suggestion would be a bean and legume soup, with or without smoked meat, which would go perfectly with a fruity Pinot like this one.
Try this wine in a Spiegelau Adina Burgundy glass. |
