Description

'This wine exhibits maturity, complexity and drinkability, displaying aromas of mature fruit, game, leather and nutmeg characters with nuances of dried herb and spice on the nose. It is beautifully rounded and sweetly flavoured, and delivers excellent fruit intensity and richness together with bottle-matured savoury notes. Tannins are firm and sturdy, making the finish slightly bitter and drying. A lovely food partner for sure. At its best: now to 2017'. Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2016

Attractive wine presenting appealing Central Otago Pinot Noir characters of dark fruit aromas, supported by intense complex flavours with hints of dried herbs. Elegant and textural on the palate, this wine has fine tannins with a persistent, lingering finish. An excellent complement to food.

Under the care of award winning winemaker Carol Bunn, this wine was crafted from a vintage, which was carefully managed and harvested at optimum ripeness at 25.4' Brix and fermented in small open-top stainless steel fermenters for approximately 21 to 30 days. The wine was barrel matured for nine months months in 228L French barriques (approx 30% new and 70% one to three-year old oak).

Have had this before and seemed to be hard to get for quite some time. Glad to see it is available again. Good wine and a good wine maker.

A nice wine fairly light in character
