Gardo & Morris Reserve Central Otago Pinot Noir 2024

Description

Almond, Cherry, Oak

"Gorgeously composed with fruit purity and seductive complexity, showing dark berry, floral, dried mushroom, thyme, and toasted almond notes. The concentrated palate exhibits outstanding weight and depth, wonderfully enhanced by plush texture and beautifully melded tannins. Sumptuous yet refined and sophisticated with a sustained, gratifying finish. At its best: 2026 to 2036" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2025

Gardo Morris is a small family-run boutique New Zealand Winery. Their aim is to create exceptional single vineyard wines from New Zealand’s finest winegrowing regions. These wines are made to complement food and reflect flavours of the vineyard site and grape variety. We believe that by working with small vineyard areas we are able to pick the very best fruit and with gentle treatment in the winery turn this into unique handcrafted wines. Benjamin Morris studied his Master of Applied Science (Oenology) at Lincoln University in New Zealand where he specialised in research on producing organic wines without the addition of preservatives.

Food Pairing: Best to be served around 14 - 16°C perfect accompanied with wild game dishes such as venison, but this is an all round wine that will compliment any well prepared meat from duck to beef.
