Deeply fruited, prettily perfumed Pinot Noir from North Canterbury.

A relatively new name on the New Zealand wine scene, Cabal Estate only came into fruition in 2016 when owner Ed Clifford took over the reins from his father. Whilst Ed's father had been selling the bulk of the estate fruit to winemakers in Waipara for nearly 20 years, Ed wanted to produce their own estate wine too.

Pairing up with legendary Kiwi winemaker Theo Coles (Hermit Ram), the two focus on producing small batches of true-to-terroir, handmade wines. 2016 was their first vintage with just over 500 bottles made, and we're looking forward to seeing what the future holds!

Gloriously purple, almost glossy in the glass, with heady notes that suggest whole bunch fermentation - mulberries, blackberry compote, violets and even a little bergamot. Plenty of perfume ensures a level of class to this Pinot, and the deeper berry flavours are complemented by a core of spice, wood and light tannins.

Wine critic Matthew Jukes said that its “got all the earth, spice and foresty notes of a decent Burgundy.” High praise…

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is a red grape variety and a style of red wine that is typically light to medium-bodied, fruit-forward, and relatively low alcohol compared to other red wines. With its higher acidity and lower tannin, Pinot Noirs are very versatile when it comes to food pairing. The red grapes can also be used to make white, rosé and sparkling wine (Blanc de Noirs).

Originally from Burgundy, the thin-skinned Pinot Noir grape is notoriously hard to grow, demanding optimum growing conditions and favouring cooler, coastal climates.

While many experts still consider the best Pinots to come from Burgundy, it is grown in regions around the world, including Oregon, California, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, France, Spain, Germany, and Italy. The wine's diverse geographical range means that you might also find it labelled as Red Burgundy, Pinot Nero, Blauburgunder, or Spätburgunder.
