Pinot Noir Pop Up – Focus: New Zealand
Beyond our beloved California and Oregon, there is, perhaps, no place on Earth more exciting for pinot noir right now than New Zealand. With that in mind, PinotFest is pleased to present 16 delicious Kiwi wines from the North Island to the South: Lime Rock, Escarpment, Ata Rangi, Neudorf, Huia, Greywacke, Villa Maria, Giesen, Mt. Beautiful, Pegasus Bay, Amisfield, Loveblock, Mt. Difficulty, Felton Road, Burn Cottage, and Ostler. Called Aotearoa in the First Nations Māori language – The Land of the Long White Cloud – stop by the NZ Wine table at PinotFest and taste for yourself what's up way down under!
