👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with crimson highlights—bright and translucent with youthful energy.

👃 On the Nose:
Fragrant and generous, with ripe dark berries—black cherry, boysenberry, and blackberry—lifting from the glass. Cocoa, forest floor, and subtle savoury notes of spice and earth add depth and intrigue.

👅 On the Palate:
Juicy and textural with a silky, medium-bodied frame. Dark fruit flavours shine, supported by fine, well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. There’s both plushness and precision here, leading to a long, harmonious finish with a savoury twist.

🍽 Food Pairing:
An excellent match for duck confit, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, or roast lamb with rosemary. Its balance of fruit and finesse makes it incredibly food-friendly.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Drinking beautifully now but will evolve gracefully over 5–7 years, developing more earthy and savoury complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
The Crossings ‘Wild Reserve’ captures the soul of cool-climate New Zealand Pinot Noir—aromatic, vibrant, and impressively refined. From the windswept vineyards of the Awatere Valley, it delivers both depth and drinkability, offering a compelling mix of fruit purity and wild elegance in every glass.
