2018 Bell Hill Pinot Noir
A Benchmark Canterbury Pinot Noir from One of New Zealand's Most Sought-After Small Producers
Bell Hill is one of New Zealand's rarest and most highly regarded boutique producers — a tiny, hand-farmed estate in North Canterbury producing Pinot Noir of extraordinary precision and elegance. Production is minuscule and demand is extraordinary; Bell Hill is consistently ranked among the finest Pinot Noirs in the country.
Tasting Notes
Hints of lifted spice and dark fruit, a touch of liquorice, briar and spice aromatics with lifted bright red fruit tones. On the palate it shows a deep concentration of fruit, elegance and energy with seamless tannin structures giving long length of flavour.
Food Pairing
A Pinot Noir of this rarity and elegance deserves a refined cut. We love it with Grass Fed White Stripe Premium Lamb Rack Frenched Cap from My Meat Man — herb-crusted, medium-rare, the precise iron-rich character of the lamb rack matches the Bell Hill's lifted spice, dark fruit and seamless tannin structure beautifully. Equally good with duck, light cheeses or mushroom-based dishes.
Why This Is a Smart Buy
At HK$1,288, this is a rare opportunity to access one of New Zealand's most sought-after Pinot Noirs. Bell Hill's tiny production and devoted collector following mean these wines are genuinely difficult to source — when they appear, they don't last.
