Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape to cultivate that grows best in cooler climates, hence the growing reputation for quality in the Central Otago region. Our terroir produces fruit that is intensely coloured and brimming with flavour. This fruit creates stunning wines with black fruit characteristics and richly perfumed wines, which are typical of Central Otago. We have been consistently winning awards since the first commercial vintage in 1997.
In exceptional years we produce a Reserve Pinot Noir and our 2006 Reserve shows lush blackcurrant, wild blackberry and spice, with a warm richly textured mouthfeel, loads of elegance and finesse with a soft, lingering finish. This wine will improve with cellaring to at least 2015, however it will still be enjoyable in its youth.
"Shows lush blackcurrant and spicy rich aromatics, with a smoky, warm, elegant, texture and a soft lingering finish."
