Notes on the Wine
Our 2018 Pinot Noir opens with juicy red-fleshed Black Doris plum accented by notes of wild berries. Spice characters follow through on the palate with warm, soft tannins and a velvety texture.
Notes on the Producer
The Dashwood brand was developed by Vavasour Wines in 1989. Given the commitment to using the Vavasour brand for wines true to the Awatere Valley, it provided flexibility within the company’s portfolio to have the Dashwood range as a blend of fruit from Marlborough’s Wairau and Awatere Valleys. Dashwood wines bring the luscious, clean fruit characters of the Wairau Valley into harmony with the flinty, or mineral, characters of the Awatere (resulting from the comparatively cooler but drier temperatures and slightly less fertile soils).
