This wine was sourced from our Claim 431 Vineyard in the Bendigo sub-region of Central Otago. The vineyards free draining loam soils over schist gravel make it a natural home for growing outstanding Pinot Noir. The huge diurnal temperature variation, adds to the structure and fruit concentration of the wine.

After a warm, early start to the season, an unusually cold November saw snow fall on the mountains putting mother nature on hold for a while. Thankfully, a warm December through to February followed, which allowed the vines to catch up. The drier than usual season was characterised by a short and sweet harvest which produced delightful ripeness and bright aromatics.

Cellaring potential: 5-6 years

Food Pairing: Perfect when matched with game meat dishes.
