Bannock Brae Estate Barrel Selection

Pinot Noir 2005

Nowhere is the artistry of winemaking more apparent than in the process of selecting and blending individual barrel lots prior to bottling. Bannock Brae owner Crawford Brown takes great delight in this annual December ritual, when he selects the “best of the best” for the Barrel Select bottling.

With the 2005 vintage, the selected wine was of such superior quality that the decision was made to neither fine nor filter it. This Pinot noir truly went straight from the barrel into the bottle! The wine exudes rich, dark, plummy and berry fruit flavors along with tantalizing hints of licorice and spices. The tannins from both the grapes themselves and the judiciously chosen French oak barriques marry it all together with a soft, silky texture that lingers seductively. Drink this wine now, or age for five years to unlock even more pleasures.

Zarbo Deli has been trading for over 11 years. It was established to offer Aucklander’s a central location to enjoy superb food and coffee and to source quality gourmet products from the Zarbo kitchen, from superior New Zealand producers and from the best suppliers throughout the world. Quickly we became recognized as a foodies destination.

Here is a Zarbo recipe that will pair very nicely with the Bannock Brae 2005 Pinot noir

• Tagines are a wonderful winter one-pot dish. The aromatic flavours of this version will impress your family or dinner guests. A tagine is traditionally made with lamb, but have used chicken in this dish to create a lighter taste. Serve with roasted potatoes or rice.
