Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva (2017)
A Tuscan red wine with ripe red fruit, violet, vanilla and sweet spice.
Ripe berry fruit, lifted perfume and a silky texture give this Marlborough red both presence and finesse.
Auntsfield Pinot Noir combines Marlborough fruit with the texture that makes this grape so appealing at the dinner table. The estate describes a style built around aromatic lift, ripe fruit and polished tannins. There is enough depth for a savoury main course, while the silky feel keeps the wine composed. Serve in a generous glass to allow the aromas to develop.
Roast duck or a wild mushroom tart complements the fruit and savoury character. Avoid very sweet glazes that could dominate the wine.
