Description

  • French oak
  • Dark cherry
  • Toasted nut
  • Silky tannins

"Pristine and fabulously fragrant, showing dark cherry, floral, thyme and toasted nut aromas, it's juicy and brightly expressed in the mouth offering excellent fruit intensity together with fleshy texture and silky tannins. Wonderfully composed and delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2021

The vineyard is planted in a range of Pinot Noir Clones that give character and complexity to our wines. Naturally Low yields and meticulous viticulture ensure clean ripe fruit is selected for this wine. The 2020 growing season was an excellent one, producing fruit with phenolic ripeness, great concentration, bold colours and excellent tannin structure.

The Fruit was harvested by clonal selection and fermented in small open top fermenters. A combination of Plunge and pump over techniques ensured optimum flavour extraction. After ferment the wines were aged in French barrels for 10 months, before blending and bottling.

This is a beautiful Pinot Noir with nice fruit and depth. It holds it own against more expensive Marlborough Pinots. I have reordered 4 times.

A little rough around the edges but needs time to relax - has the potential to do that, putting it away for a year or two.

Michael - 17/05/2022

Very nice Pinot, would buy again.

Valerie - 07/04/2022

Outstanding Pinot at a very reasonable price. Second time around and I know I'll regret not getting another dozen.

Tak - 05/03/2022

This wine has a lovely smokey character to it. It's reminiscent of some top reserve wines of 2008.

Mouth filling,full flavoured. Excellent Value for the price. Easily as good as the cheaper Centrol Otago Pinot,

Good drinking

Nice Drop for the money....Happy.

Good value but could benefit from a few years cellaring.

Richard - 13/11/2023

R
Nice drop at a reasonable price . Tasty but with a slight acid finish that should mellow with further cellaring .

Robert - 15/06/2022

Perhaps time in the bottle will help - a little sharp at the moment!
