Tasting Notes

This aromatic Pinot Noir starts with concentrated blackberry and dark cherry combined with hints of mocha and a rich smoky char from French oak. On the palate, ripe fruit flavors of plum unfold to a earthy wild spice with a ripe and juicy finish. Concentrated & structured with serious length, this is classic Central Otago Pinot Noir at its best.

Winemaking

After an initial cold soak, each parcel was warmed and innoculated with our house style yeast and carefully and minimally handled to extract depth and concentration of flavour from the skins. Each parcel was then pressed to a selection of new and seasoned French oak barriques for maturation. After 10 months of ageing, only the best barrels were blended together to create this concentrated and elegant Central Otago Pinot Noir.
