Pinot noir from Waipara (north Canterbury) is the most underrated in New Zealand, easily up there with the best in central Otago. In fact I would go as far to say wines from this region are the most under rated in New Zealand. Pegasus Bay lead the way over 20 years ago. Caveat is that if you are comparing central Otago with waipara, the Pinot noir is softer, but still with a complex structure but more more hidden. Duck is perfect. For afternoon drinking also superb.
