Inviniti Pinot Noir 2024 by Lawson’s Dry Hills from Marlborough’s Wairau Valley is a fragrant, easy‑going cool‑climate red with juicy fruit and bright, food‑friendly acidity. This 2024 Inviniti Pinot Noir shows ripe red berry fruit – think cherry, raspberry and strawberry – with a little plum, subtle spice and a gentle floral lift thanks to careful cold soak and stainless‑steel ferment.

On the palate it’s supple and medium‑bodied, all about bright red berries, soft spice and silky tannins rather than heavy oak or earthiness. The wine is completely dry, fresh and approachable, with clean acidity and a smooth, moreish finish that makes it spot‑on for midweek drinking or bigger gatherings.

I’d be pouring Inviniti Pinot Noir 2024 with hot ham, roast pork, chicken, grilled meats, seared tuna, pizza and pasta or simple casseroles – basically anything that loves a juicy, lighter‑style red. It’s certified 100% sustainable and made in a certified net carbon‑zero winery, so it ticks the feel‑good box as well as the flavour one.
