Takahiro Koyama's new label, sourced from the Pearson Vineyard in Waipara Valley, showcases an ouroboros, an ancient symbol of a dragon consuming its own tail, representing rebirth and renewal.
The wine is a ruby-crimson in the glass, with energetic, enticing aromas of cranberry, cherry, cinnamon, woody herbs, plum, acacia and lilac.
Youthful palate exudes fruit, supple tannins, and balanced acidity, textured and subtly spiced, this wine is delightful right now but also promises a long and promising future with cellaring.

Description
The grapes were sourced from Gravel Soil Vineyard located western side of Waipara Valley. The vines were planted in 2004 by Mr. and Mrs. Pearson, mixture clones of UCD5, Dijon 115, Dijon 667, Dijon 777 and 10/5. Grapes were hand harvested into small picking bins, and sorted again in the winery before fermentation. Fermented in open top 1.7t vats for about 20 days with hand plunging during fermentation.
This wine is quite aromatic and fruity with nice acidity backbone. Crimson colour with ruby going to a brick red hue. It is a soft and rounded wine with aroma of sweet red berry fruits and red cherries. This is a wine for easy drinking whilst having classic Pinot Noir flavours, the tannins are soft and well rounded. This wine is suitable for mild flavoured foods or drinking by itself. Aged in French Oak barrels for 18 months. No fining or filtration is applied.
