Spy Valley Marlborough Pinot Noir 2023
Red Wine from New Zealand - Marlborough
Spy Valley is a name we trust for great value, and their Marlborough Pinot Noir is a good reason why. Based in the cooler Waihopai Valley, they are quietly making some of New Zealand’s best-value fine wines and this pinot is a brilliant example of what the region can do. This is a bright, aromatic and generously flavoured pinot noir, which is perfectly balanced and with genuine finesse; something that can be hard to find at this level. There’s plenty of that classic pinot dark cherry fruit at the core, supported by plum, gentle spice, and a subtle earthy undertone that adds a lovely savoury edge. It’s silky and fresh on the palate, with soft tannins and just the right amount of structure. This is proper pinot noir. It is elegant, expressive and incredibly drinkable. Whether you’re already a fan of New Zealand pinot or just looking to dip your toe into the style without spending a fortune, this is a no-brainer. Pair it with roast duck, mushroom dishes, or even grilled lamb, and you’re onto a winner. Thanks to the generous support of the supplier we are delighted to offer this wine with a saving until 11.59pm on Thursday 2nd July.

Spy Valley
Spy Valley takes its name from a satellite communications monitoring station located in Waihopai Valley in New Zealand’s Marlborough region. This has become a fairly large winemaking operation, but was established only in 1993. Initially the fruit produced was sold to other wine companies but in 2000 the first wine was made under the Spy Valley label.
The grapes come from estate-owned vineyards in the lower Waihopai Valley and select sites in Marlborough’s Wairau and Southern Valley areas. Chief winemaker Paul Bourgeois is assisted by a young, upcoming winemaking team. A state-of-the-art winery, situated in the middle of the estate vineyards, completes the picture ensuring the best possible handling of nearby fruit.
The range shows excellent purity and intensity of flavour and has been a mainstay of The Society’s List. Spy Valley excel in particular with riesling and gewürztraminer which stand out for their exuberance and superb value. The sauvignon blanc is generously flavoured with attractive grassy characters. Pinot noir can be wonderfully perfumed and plummy.
