Along the Marlborough shore, holding fast to the rocks at low tide, is the seaweed Durvillea, named after the captain of the Astrolabe, Dumont d'Urville. This is an early drinking style of Pinot Noir with generous, bright fruit and supple tannins. The nose shows aromas of black and red cherry, forest fruits and spice. Medium bodied, the palate reveals dark cherry, red berry and plum flavours, a silky texture and long dry finish. Match with duck, lamb and venison as well as roasted vegetables and dishes with tomato, pomegranate and tamarind.

Pinot Noir; notoriously difficult to cultivate, but with luck, love & perfect conditions, she will reward you with the performance of a life time - a minx & a devil in disguise, a Fickle Mistress. Central Otago's cool climate consistently produces exceptional red fruit flavours of cherry, raspberry and redcurrant, but with concentration and length to match. This wine is layered with black and red berry fruits, complemented by blossoming aromas of dark plum.
