Raymond Chan, Feb 2018

Description

"Moderately deep garnet-hued red colour, a little lighter on the rim.  The nose is elegant in proportion with secondary fruit aromas of savoury red berry fruit entwined with dried thyme herbs, along with a complexing layer of undergrowth and nutty oak elements.  The aromatics form a well-concentrated core.  Medium-full bodied, the palate has lively fruit flavours of savoury red cherry and berry fruits melded with dried herbs, some undergrowth elements with earthy and nutty notes.  The palate has good depth and presence, and the fruit is underlined by fine-grained tannin textures lending a subtle core and line.  This has good acidity and energy, and the wine carries to an elegant finish.  This is an elegant Pinot Noir with savoury secondary red fruits, herbs and undergrowth notes on a fine-textured palate with good liveliness.  Match with wild duck and pork dishes over the next 4 years.  Hand-picked fruit fully destemmed and fermented to 14.0% alc., the wine aged one year in 2-4 y.o. French oak" Raymond Chan, Feb 2018

Pioneers, risk takers, brave, fighters are just some of the words that have been used to describe the founders of this Mystery vineyard, which is one of the southernmost vineyards and wineries in the world! Aafter learning, experimenting and above all perseverance these Mystery wine makers have been producing since the late 1980s, which make these Mystery vines some of the oldest in the Central Otago resulting wines such as this Mystery Pinot Noir that showcase the true terroir of the district. This Mytsery winery is a true icon for Central Otago wine, with this Mystery Pinot Noir coming from a long line of award winners before it. So take a punt, as whilst we can't divulge the brand until delivery, as we’ve promised we’d keep it secret we truly dont think it will disappoint.
