The Duke Of Cromwell Central Otago Pinot Noir 2022

Description

Cherry, Spice, Strawberry

"Sweetly ripe and immediately appealing with dark cherry, strawberry, toasted nut and warm spice aromas, it's juicy and smooth in the mouth delivering silky texture backed by fine-grained tannins, finishing long and soothing. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2024

"Moderately deep crimson, slightly lighter on edge. The nose is vibrant and forward with aromas of black cherries, black raspberries, herbs and a hint of chocolate. Medium-bodied, aromas of black cherries and black raspberries melded with thyme, a touch of pepper and a chocolate linger. The fruit is juicy and appealing, framed by supple tannins and balanced acidity" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Apr 2024

The Duke of Cromwell, produced by Nevis Bluff Wines, has a strong sense of place, rich and ripe but with a strong mineral thread. Aromatically this wine has ripe red currant, dark chocolate, violet and spicy on the nose leading to a soft elegantly textured palate.

Nevis Bluff has a key role in the Central Otago wine industry and is aptly named the ‘Pinot Specialist’ - reflecting the vineyard’s ambition to produce distinctive Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir wines.
