TASTING NOTE: 

Surveyor Thomson belongs to the Hong Kong based couple, David Hall-Jones and PM Chan. The property is named for David’s great-great-grandfather, New Zealand's first Surveyor General, John Turnbull Thomson, commonly known as Mr Surveyor Thomson. The relatively frost-free, warm mesoclimate and free-draining soils in the vineyards provide ideal grape growing conditions, producing excellent concentration and intensity of flavour in the wines.

This is a classic New World Pinot Noir, dominated by red fruit flavours such as strawberry, raspberry and red cherries.  While light in body, it is lively on the palate with fresh acidity running through it, all the way to a plush, persistent finish.
