Kahiwi Scordatura Pinot Noir 2021
Scordatura 2021 is Kahiwi’s terroir‑driven Pinot Noir from the slopes of Mount Pisa. A beautifully bright, pure, and finely structured expression shaped by schist and quartz soils. Expect lifted red fruit, subtle spice, and a seamless, flowing palate, thanks to small‑batch ferments, gentle extraction, and careful maturation in French oak. The 2021 vintage brings clarity and precision: a Pinot Noir that feels both elegant and energetic, with silky tannins and a long, graceful finish. A standout choice for guests who love Central Otago Pinot with finesse, vibrancy, and a strong sense of place.
Kahiwi is a small, detail‑driven Central Otago producer working out of Mount Pisa, crafting micro‑parcel Pinot Noirs that explore how schist, quartz, clay, and loam each shape structure, perfume, and tension in the glass. Their Scordatura series is essentially a study in terroir: tiny ferments, minimal intervention, and a focus on purity and precision.
