"This entry-level pinot noir is produced by Chard Farm. Made in a vibrant, fruit-focused style with little oak influence. Light, pretty, easy-drinking pinot noir with ripe cherry, violet, and peppery, stemmy flavours. Simple, accessible wine that offers value at this price. A versatile food wine" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Feb 2022
This 2020 Rabbit Ranch is a classic Central Otago Pinot Noir, vibrant and fruity with a soft tail. A bright-eyed red with hints of briar patch and a whiff of gun smoke. The wine is made in a fruit forward, easy drinking style. Lightly oaked and gently handled to display the lively fruit flavours and fine structure of Central Otago Pinot Noir.
The Central Otago High Country of New Zealand is over-run with rabbits. Sheep and rabbits coexisted on the land for some time but the sheep couldn't keep up with the nocturnal activity of the rabbits. In the end they were hopelessly outnumbered and driven off the land- they were last seen heading north. The owner of the Rabbit Ranch - Mr. MacGregor, tried unsuccessfully to reduce the rabbit population by selling rabbit pies. Eventually he decided to plant some vines and make a decent Pinot Noir to go with all the rabbit pie he was eating.
