McArthur Ridge Brassknocker Central Otago Pinot Noir 2023

Description

Oak, Spice, Vanilla

"A vibrant and intense bouquet of ripe red berry fruits, red apple skin and dried raspberry powder. Bright, fruity and refreshing on the palate, a dry wine with a core of boysenberry and red cherry flavours, raspberry jam and red flowers. Fine tannins from fruit then some barrel, a crisp acid line vibrant mouthfeel present a wine ready to drink from 2026 through 2030. Refreshing and delicious" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Apr 2025

"Perfumed nose with sweet red berry hemmed by some light flinty reduction, soaring floral notes and a touch of tart cherry. Precise and clear fruit is framed by light, mouth-coating, fine tannins right to the back, providing some structure for the primary cherry fruit. A fruit-driven drink-now proposition" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Dec 2024

This is a beautifully supple, pretty expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir, showing silky black cherry fruit with nice density and some fresh green hints. So Expressive. We have often said this wine is a snapshot of our vineyard in a glass... a true reflection of the vintage and our terroir. This is an expressive wine from an expressive vintage, elegant, poised and supple... with all the characteristics of Central Otago Pinot Noir at its finest.
