We've just taken delivery of the 2024 Te Mata Estate Pinot Noir, and it's the kind of wine that reminds us just how much value can be found in the sub-$40 bracket of the grape we're all so obsessed with.
We've also picked out two other standouts (sub-$30!) that deserve to be on rotation with Te Mata over the cooler weeks: Provenance's 2023, which remains - hands down - one of the best-value Pinots around; and the Cat & Frank Pinot , from Catia d'Anna and her father, Franco, which is already turning heads in the trade. RRP $192 - yours for $167.
