The 2008 vintage has produced a classic Central Otago wine with vibrant dark fruit characteristics. The colour is a bold deep crimson/purple with aromas that show classic “Central” characters of dark ripe berry fruits like cherries and plums. The flavour is brimful of the essential Pinot character for which Otago is renowned, soft and generous with fine silky tannins and a touch of spice. The wine has an elegant and lingering finish. Dangerously drinkable.

The grapes for this Central Otago Pinot Noir are sourced from sustainably grown vineyards in the Cromwell Basin, just outside of Queenstown in New Zealand's South Island. Central Otago, with its cold winters, cool summer nights and warm sunny summer days, provides the perfect environment for the Pinot Noir grape to slowly ripen. This enables it to develop an intensity of flavour whilst retaining the complexity of fruit characteristics that make the region renowned for the varietal.
