German winemaker Karl Johner, who ran a respected estate in Baden before settling near Gladstone in 2001, set out to make Pinot Noir here with the same layered, savoury approach he brought from home - never chasing upfront fruit for its own sake. This bottling shows why: silky and supple in the mouth, with red and dark berry fruit wrapped around gentle spice and soft, well-integrated tannins, all lifted by a seam of fresh acidity that keeps things lively. It's approachable now, though there's enough structure here to reward a year or two of patience. A good, honest way into Wairarapa Pinot Noir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohner Estate's Wairarapa Pinot Noir is sourced from vineyards around the estate's Gladstone base and matured in French oak for close to a year. It shows a bright ruby to garnet colour, with red and dark berry fruit layered with savoury spice. The palate is silky and supple, with soft, well-integrated tannins and fresh acidity that keeps the wine lively. It drinks well now, with enough structure to develop further over the next year or two.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dhall \u0026 Nash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53182028218735,"sku":"100617","price":161.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/2252\/6319\/files\/JohnerEstateWairarapaPinotNoir2023.jpg?v=1783919177","url":"https:\/\/stolencellar.co.nz\/products\/johner-estate-wairarapa-pinot-noir","provider":"Stolen Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
