Dark floral and spice scents lead to wonderful red and dark fruits with a lovely seam of minerality supported by supple tannins. A true reflection of the three Central Otago sub-regions that contribute to our Pinot Noir.
From cool American Canyon and Carneros vineyards in the southern tip of Napa Valley this classically styled wine that doesn’t undergo malolactic fermentation preserving its natural acidity. Fermented and aged 10 months in French oak.
“...is really charming, sexy stuff. Soaring florals emerge from the glass, accompanied by notes of dark fruit, espresso and grilled meat. Silky and seductive, it should drink well young yet be capable of developing for 20 years.”
