VIVA / NZ Herald: Entertain This Autumn With The Best Wines Of The Season
The Good Better Best selection of Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs for Autumn.
There’s always something exciting about a change of season. Yes, we might be lamenting the end of summer, but who can resist the anticipation of refreshing our wardrobes with all the latest looks in store – think over-sized jackets, nubbly sweaters and rich warm textures – and filling our social calendars with dinner parties, wholesome outdoor adventures and fire side gatherings?
Autumn is all about embracing those cozy moments and finding simple ways to elevate everyday life – like unwinding with a glass or two of great wine. This is where Good Better Best’s quarterly wine selections come into play. Available at all good bottle stores, it makes choosing wine easy, approachable and effortlessly stylish for any occasion. And, just like fashion’s seasonal trends, wine has its own way of making a statement. Do you prefer a buttery Chard or an elegant Pinot Noir? From easy-drinking everyday picks to indulgent, next-level bottles, Good Better Best will help you discover the best wines to suit your autumn vibe.
Rua Pinot Noir Central Otago 2023
Rich, generous, and unmistakably Central Otago, the Rua Pinot Noir 2023 is a beautifully structured wine. Black cherry, raspberry, and plum notes are complemented by vanilla and dried herbs, while a subtle spiciness adds depth. Silky tannins ensure a smooth and vibrant drinking experience.
Pair it with: Grilled lamb chops with rosemary on the barbeque, a chicken and mushroom pie for a comforting weeknight dinner, or a hearty beef stroganoff for a family gathering.
