2017 Chard Farm River Run Pinot Noir, Central Otago

River Run is Chard Farm’s Central Otago regional Pinot Noir made from grapes grown in own vineyards in different sub-regions of Central Otago. The deep alpine valleys and waterways of Central Otago have craved the land available for grape growing into quite distinct sub-regions. Each pocket of land has its own unique climate and soil mix producing quite different styles of Pinot Noir. River Run captures the character of each of the sub-regions: Lowburn gives bright, fresh sweet fruit, Gibbston savoury and herbal tones, and Parkburn brings good texture and mineral length.
