Delightfully fragrant with sweet cherry, florals and subtle spice aromas, combining with a silky smooth palate and lovely fruit sweetness. This fresh and vibrant Pinot Noir sings Central Otago as clearly as the Welcome Swallow’s twittering, chattering call.

The Welcome Swallow gained its name as its appearance heralds the start of Spring. Healthy soil moisture and warm sunshine provided strong shoot growth followed by a good flowering and fruit set. The hot, dry growing conditions through summer and early autumn ensured the resulting crop was balanced, ripe and ready for an early start to harvest.

Often seen darting around the southern lakes and rivers, the Welcome Swallow is known for its penchant to twitter and catch a sip on the fly. Inspired by this swift and graceful bird, Fast Flying Wines Limited, a family owned Central Otago winery, is proud to introduce this pinot noir.

Food Pairing: With or without food, this lively and elegant pinot noir is perfect for enjoying with a flock or when flying solo. Ideal with an antipasto platter, barbeque or light style Italian dishes.
