In 2001 Kiwi winemakers decided to throw back the covers and show the world why their Pinot Noir was special. It was the birth of an event which has been lauded for its style and excellence. 16 years on and the latest rendition takes place at the beginning of February 2017. Pinot Noir NZ is internationally relevant and cutting edge, attracting world renowned wine commentators and winemakers.
At the forefront of wine in New Zealand, Glengarry is of course Pinot Noir 2017's Retail Partner. Several of our team are lucky enough to be amongst the delegates for Pinot Noir 2017, including Liz.
Post the event Liz will put together her pick of wines from Pinot Noir 2017 to present at our first Pinot Noir Club for the year.
Riedel are the glassware partner for Pinot Noir 2017, continuing the theme, you’ll be tasting tonight in a Riedel glass, none other than the Heart to Heart Pinot Noir glass designed for New Zealand Pinot Noir. What an excellent tasting to start the year with.
