Moko Hills ‘Kakano’ Pinot Noir

The palate is bright, savoury‑edged, and finely structured, opening with red cherry, mulberry, and wild raspberry. The 100% whole‑bunch ferment brings a lifted herbal freshness and a gentle stem‑derived spice, giving the wine aromatic tension without dominating the fruit. The mid‑palate is supple yet energetic, showing notes of pomegranate, dried spice, and subtle olive‑like savouriness, carried by brisk, clean acidity that keeps the wine taut and lively. Tannins are fine, long, and lightly sinewy, offering shape and definition while maintaining a sense of delicacy. The finish is dry, savoury, and quietly persistent, tapering with hints of redcurrant, spice, and a faint mineral edge.
