Selection
Vista D’Oro NV Pinot Noix
Dry and distinctly savoury, this sherry-like specialty wine brings Pinot Noir together with green walnut husks from the estate. The palate is gently vinous rather than overtly fruity, with layered walnut depth and a firm, food-friendly finish. Its unusual balance of wine and nuts makes it particularly suited to cheese, charcuterie or pâté.
