Paddy Borthwick Paper Road Wairarapa Pinot Noir
This is about the purity of Pinot Noir with spicy savoury and bright, juicy red florals and fruits. It is medium-bodied with soft velvety tannins, a mix of tart and sweet cherry fruit with a chocolate touch to the lightly oaked finish and a spicy zestiness to the lingering aftertaste.
