This fruity Pinot came from Nelson, a city so sunny that it is nicknamed "Sunny Nelson." It has a rich black berry flavor and a mellow astringency. It's a great value Pinot.

Chikuzenni, yakitori sauce, mackerel miso, etc. are perfect. Roast beef is also good. A slightly stronger flavor is best.

Fruity Pinot

Nelson, a town known as "Sunny Nelson" because of its many sunny days, is a town rich in nature with many orchards and green spaces.

The Pinot Noir variety is characterized by its pale color, but this wine has a slightly darker color.

The aroma is blackberry, prune, cocoa, etc. These aromas are not often found in ordinary Pinot Noir, but in this wine, there is a nuance like a compote of stewed black berry fruits.

The taste is moderately acidic, not too bitter, and rich and mellow. It goes well with food and is easy to drink.

This is a full-bodied wine, so we recommend chilling it slightly during the hot summer months.

The beautiful art labels would look great at outdoor events such as picnics and camping!

Recommended pairings

This medium-bodied wine pairs well with a variety of foods.

In particular, Japanese cuisine using soy sauce, mirin, and sugar is recommended. The sweet and spicy taste of the sauce goes perfectly with the refreshing acidity of the berries, creating a synergistic effect.

It also goes well with rich dishes using miso and cheese, as well as meat dishes.

Chikuzen stew

Yakitori (with sauce)

Mackerel simmered in miso sauce

Double-pot meat

Camembert Cheese Fried

roast beef

About the Winery "Brackenbrook"

Blackenbrook is a boutique winery located in the Nelson region on the north coast of New Zealand's South Island.

This region, also known as "Sunny Nelson," boasts the most abundant sunshine among New Zealand's wine producing regions and produces highly aromatic wines.

The owner, Daniel, studied viticulture and brewing at the University of Lincoln, before gaining experience in Austria, Germany, France (Alsace), and other countries. In New Zealand, he served as chief wine at the prestigious Seyfried winery, also in Nelson.

He and his wife and partner, Ursula, spent two years searching for the perfect location before settling on their current location.

At Brackenbrook, the fruit is carefully grown in sustainable vineyards and fermented in a winery designed to make the most of the gravity flow system (a method of using gravity to move the wine during the fermentation process).

Also, pay attention to the label. This "Shangri-La" art series uses an artist's landscape painting of Nelson.

About Nelson

Nelson is located in the northern part of the South Island and is affectionately known as "Sunny Nelson" due to the extremely long hours of sunshine throughout the year.

This relatively small wine region is mostly made up of small wineries known as boutique wineries.

Taking advantage of the abundant sunshine, aromatic white wines such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Gris are mainly produced. Pinot Noir, which has a strong fruity flavor, is popular for red wine. Nelson is also famous for producing hops and fruits.
