One of the pioneers in growing wines on New Zealand's South Island, Danny Schuster makes some of the best wines in the country from his organic property in Waipara, the only region in New Zealand that offers the limestone soils that Pinot Noir loves. This is a remarkable Pinot, quite rich, full-bodied yet well-balanced, full of the flavors of plums, blackberries, and spice, all wrapped in the silky texture that only the best pinots provide. Top New Zealand pinots like this express elements of both the best Burgundies and California Pinots, but in a style that is unique to their beautiful country, and this wine expresses New Zealand to the utmost. This is world-class Pinot Noir, without a doubt.
