Tesco, Finest Pinot Noir, 2022, Central Otago, New Zealand

I think Tesco struck gold with their Finest Pinot Noir from Central Otago, New Zealand. This is a real treat. Dry and light it has plenty of subtle red fruit that dances on the palette. It’s got grace and style and although Decanter only gave it 91 points it’s a gold from me.

At £14 a bottle for such quality it’s great value. It stood up to steak very well but was excellent too on its own.
