The red wine Te Mata Estate Alma Pinot Noir, vintage 2020 from the winery Te Mata has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Pinot Noir from the region Hawkes Bay in New Zealand.
Toastiness - of some new oak - is the immediate expression on the nose, but that is swiftly followed by the aromatic notion of Amarena cherry - both its richness and its tanginess. More air reveals overtones of liquorice. The palate presents the same profile of dark, aromatic cherry but counters it with lovely freshness. The tannins are silky and mellow, the finish is equally smooth but wonderfully aromatic and fresh.
