"When tasting here at head office we often say of new world Pinot that, if they were Burgundy, they would fetch many time the price we currently sell them for, and this is a prime example. Fantastic quality, strawberry-scented fruit, just a touch of new oak, and real class. Not cheap but a genuine bargain at the current offer price."
