Tiwaiwaka Library Release: 2008 & 2009 Pinot Noir 2 Pack

Tiwaiwaka Pinot Noir 2008: Originally crafted as a lighter, approachable style, the 2008 has evolved into a wine of surprising depth. The once-bright red cherry and violet aromas have softened into layers of dried cranberry, wild strawberry, and earthy forest floor. Subtle notes of cedar, mushroom, and baking spice add savoury complexity. On the palate, the tannins are silky and well-integrated, with a gentle acidity carrying a long, elegant finish. A graceful, mature Pinot that rewards slow sipping. Tiwaiwaka Pinot Noir 2009: The 2009 vintage shows a touch more richness and concentration than its 2008 sibling. The nose still offers red cherry and floral lift, but now with darker fruit notes of plum and black raspberry, intertwined with hints of leather, tobacco leaf, and truffle. Time in bottle has brought a rounded, velvety texture, with tannins fully resolved. A whisper of spice and savoury umami notes linger on a persistent, warming finish. Complex, layered, and beautifully aged.
