This 2023 Wooing Tree 'Blondie' Pinot Noir is a uniquely charming Blanc de Noir that marries elegance with vibrant fruit character, making it a delightful addition to any sparkling wine collection.

The winemaking process for 'Blondie' is carefully orchestrated to highlight the pure expression of 100% Pinot Noir. Ripe, hand-picked grapes undergo minimal skin contact via a gentle whole bunch press, resulting in an elegant champagne-coloured wine. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks ensures that the varietal and fruit characteristics are preserved, while the process is designed to retain the wine’s natural vibrancy.

What makes 'Blondie' truly special is its remarkable balance of delicate fruit and floral aromas - think white peach, tropical fruit, and orange blossom - complemented by a palate that bursts with pink grapefruit, honeysuckle, and a touch of lime. Its finesse and lively, refined bubbles have captivated wine lovers, earning it accolades and even the endorsement of Reese Witherspoon as her favourite New Zealand wine. This wine is perfect for those who appreciate a sparkling expression that is as playful as it is sophisticated.

Pairing Suggestions: Best with fresh seafood ceviche, citrus-infused salads, light poultry dishes, or enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif on a warm day.

Tasting Note: Elegant champagne-coloured with aromas of white peach, tropical fruit, and orange blossom; on the palate, hints of pink grapefruit, honeysuckle, and a touch of lime create a balanced, vibrant finish.
