Pinot Noir 2017 – Black Market Deal #32363
- Textured, savoury
- Nelson
Great Nelson pinot with exceptional length and elegance. It’s got all the hallmark Kiwi intensity, though not quite as plush as some Otago examples. This trades on balance, with savoury complexity making for real interesting drinking. You’ll want to hold onto at least one of these for a while. There’s a very bright future on the cards, too.

Region
Nelson
Nelson, right at the top of the south island, vies for New Zealand's best wine region. Its wine history dates back to 1800s German settlers, but the modern industry kicked off in the 1970s. It boasts a vibrant arts and café scene, and although you will see New Zealand's usual suspects (pinot, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and aromatic whites), many of the wines are as eclectic as the people who live here.
The rules are there ain’t no rules, but here are some foods we think will work pretty well with this wine...
Goes with
Veal schnitzel with coleslaw
Ingredients
- 50g (1/3 cup) plain flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tbs milk
- 50g (1 cup) panko breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh continental parsley
- 8 (about 75g each) veal loin medallions
- Olive oil spray
- 4 cups finely shredded savoy cabbage
- 1/2 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced
- 1 Granny Smith apple, cored, cut into matchsticks
- 2 tbs currants
- 60ml (1/4 cup) buttermilk
- 2 tbs low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tbs salted baby capers, rinsed, drained, coarsely chopped
- Lemon wedges, to serve
Directions
- Place the flour on a large plate. Whisk the egg and milk in a bowl until combined. Combine the breadcrumbs and half the parsley in a separate bowl. Coat a piece of veal in the flour and shake off any excess. Dip in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to coat. Place the veal on a plate. Repeat with the remaining veal, flour, egg mixture and breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Spray with oil. Cook half the veal for 4 minutes each side or until golden brown (spray the pan with oil halfway through cooking, if necessary). Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with the remaining veal, reheating the pan between batches.
- Meanwhile, combine cabbage, onion, apple, currants and remaining parsley in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, mayonnaise and caper in a bowl until well combined. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss to combine.
- Divide the veal and coleslaw among serving plates. Serve with lemon wedges.
