Mt. Beautiful, founded by Dr. David Teece in North Canterbury's Cheviot Hills, is a pioneering estate named after the nearby peak overlooking New Zealand's rugged South Island coastline. Situated between the Southern Alps and the Pacific Ocean, the estate's terraced, gravel-rich vineyards enjoy cool maritime breezes and high sunshine hours that yield expressive, finely structured Pinot Noir.
Crafted from 100% hand-picked estate Pinot Noir in the benchmark 2019 vintage, the fruit underwent wild and cultured yeast fermentation before aging for 11 months in French oak barriques (approx. 25% new). Displaying luminous ruby color, vibrant red and dark cherry purity, and silky, well-integrated tannins, this release marries New Zealand fruit intensity with Burgundian poise.
