Description

  • French oak
  • Dark plum & cherry
  • Nutmeg & mocha
  • Supple tannins

"It's enticing and beautifully aromatic on the nose showing dark plum, sweet cherry, thyme and subtle mushroom aromas, leading to a soothing palate that's succulent and fleshy. Generous and elegant at the same time with plenty of tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2022

Wild strawberry black cherry, brown spice and bright, floral aromas combine with nicely integrated fruit with flavours of blueberry, plum, nutmeg and mocha. A pure expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir. Luscious and fruit focussed with great flavour and soft supple tannin.

Central Otago fruit from Peregrine Bendigo Estate, Gibbston and select Cromwell basin sites.

The 2020 season started dry and cool in Central Otago, followed by warmer temperatures throughout Summer and a lovely ripening period in Autumn. This resulted in smaller bunches and berries, with lovely purity and intensity of flavour.

Mostly destemmed with a small portion of whole cluster fermentation, and 10 months maturation in older French Oak.

Food Pairing: Game, pork or lamb dishes. 16° ideal serving temperature.

Outstanding value for money

This one is probably the best value Pinot Noir of this calibre available. The 2020 is exceptional.

A bit richer and more full bodied than I recall from previous vintages. Benefits significantly from being allowed to breathe.
