"Sweetly ripe and beautifully fragrant, the wine shows dark cherry, green olive, dried mushroom and roasted nut aromas on the nose. The palate delivers rounded mouthfeel together with supple texture and fine, silky tannins, making it elegantly structured and delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2024
Alive with aromas of dark cherry and vanilla bean and bursting with delicious ripe cherry and spice flavours, our Central Otago Pinot Noir is rich and velvet-soft.
Central Otago is New Zealand’s southernmost wine region, and is home to big mountains, pristine lakes, and dramatic skies. The glacial based soils n this region produce wines with fragrant, lush, fruit balanced by delicate acidity. A cooler growing season in 2021 resulted in small berries with great concentration, flavour and tannin structure.
Pinot Noir fruit was carefully harvested in the cool of the night to help preserve the fresh flavours from the vineyard. After harvest, the fruit was cold soaked for five days and fermented in small batches in open-top fermenters. Each ferment was plunged three times a day to extract colour and tannins from the skins. The wine was left to macerate for five days before pressing. The wine was aged in French oak for 10 months, including 20% new oak.
