This is Pinot Noir that gives a lot of joy without being overt. Bright cherry and spice aromatics are initially enticing, but earthy undertones will win you over. There’s tremendous value and sophistication in this single vineyard, hand picked Waipara Pinot Noir.

The Boneline team are devoted to the North Canterbury site that forms their wines. Vineyards are planted on ancient and varied soil types, sheltered by the Alps and Teviotdale Hills, yet still exposed to the region’s famed, warm nor’wester winds. If you want to geek out, the name Boneline refers to the nearby geological signature left by the same asteroid impact that caused dinosaurs to be extinct. The wines themselves are certainly worth geeking out on too.
