Sherwood Estate Wines Stoney Range Pinot Noir 2023 from Waipara Valley in North Canterbury is a bright, juicy Kiwi Pinot that really leans into pure fruit and easy drinkability, offering a lively, modern style that’s spot–on for relaxed dinners and mid–week enjoyment.

In the glass, Sherwood Stoney Range Pinot Noir 2023 shows lifted aromas of raspberry and black plum with red cherry, violets and a gentle earthy, herbal edge from its cool–climate roots. The palate is medium–bodied and silky, packed with juicy red fruits – raspberry, strawberry and redcurrant – alongside plum, subtle spice and soft, velvety tannins, all carried by bright, refreshing acidity and a clean, moreish finish.

For food, this Stoney Range Pinot Noir 2023 is magic with herb–crusted roast chicken, seared tuna Niçoise, grilled salmon or pork tenderloin, where its acidity and red fruits cut through richness neatly. It’s also excellent with Moroccan lamb tagine, braised beef short ribs or a beetroot and goat’s cheese salad, making Sherwood Estate Stoney Range Pinot Noir 2023 a versatile, great–value red to keep on hand.
