Shaky Bridge Pioneer Pinot Noir

Shaky Bridge Pioneer Pinot Noir 2024 is a plush, polished Central Otago Pinot from the sustainably farmed Shaky Bridge estate, drawing fruit from some of the region’s oldest Pinot Noir vines. This richly flavoured New Zealand Pinot Noir brings dark-fruit generosity, savoury complexity and velvety structure together with superb value.

Dark cherry and ripe plum aromas are layered with roasted hazelnut, warm mushroom, game, florals and a gentle lift of thyme-like spice. The palate is generous and well weighted, delivering concentrated berry fruit, fleshy texture and silky flow. Fine, polished tannins carry the 2024 Shaky Bridge Pioneer Pinot Noir through a long, harmonious finish.

Serve this Central Otago Pinot Noir with duck breast, slow-roasted lamb, mushroom risotto, pork belly or herb-crusted salmon. Its dark fruit and savoury notes flatter game, roast meats and earthy mushrooms, while the soft tannins keep it smooth enough for relaxed drinking. A brilliantly versatile red for dinner parties or a special midweek meal.
