The Better Half Pinot Noir 2021

€21.50
Description
Born of a playful rivalry with winemaker wife Jules Taylor, when George Elworthy decided to dust off his wine-making hat to create a new range of wines, ‘The Better Half’ seemed like the perfect tongue-in-cheek moniker to attach to his new project.
Affordable Kiwi Pinots are rare as hen’s teeth, and this one’s a beaut! Youthful, fruit-driven Pinot with soft tannins and sweet strawberry and cherry flavours underpinned by earthy mushroom, prune and sloe berry characters. Bold, perfumed and juicy.

After years of winemaking and vintage experience worldwide and at various Marlborough cellars, Zoology graduate Jules Taylor (who was born the year the first vines were planted in Marlborough) launched her eponymous label with 200 cases in 2001.
Jules completed a postgraduate course in winemaking / viticulture at Lincoln before working a number of vintages in Piedmont, Sicily, Australia and Cloudy Bay. After taking a permanent job at Marlborough Valley Cellars, she was mentored by Kiwi wine industry veterans Kim Crawford, Simon Waghorn and Matt Thompson who encouraged her to launch her own label, which she did in 2001.
Five years, two children and a few thousand cases later, Jules Taylor Wines was officially established and is now an internationally-recognised wine brand with multiple awards and worldwide fans.
