Bright, fresh, high energy pinot noir with plum, dark cherry and dried herb/savoury characters supported by gentle acidity and ripe, peppery tannins that promote a pleasantly dry and lingering finish. 21 SEP 2022 Drink 2022–2026

The fruit comes from a parcel of vines which are entirely grown on their own roots and are the oldest vines on the property. Now 25 years old.
All vines are planted on their own roots, organically certified and tended to by hand. Destemmed, then fermented using wild yeast, each parcel spends 9 months ageing in barrel, of which 20% are new French oak barrels. Each barrel is carefully selected, before blending and remains in tank over harvest, allowing it time to unify.
This is classic Central Otago Pinot Noir, with good structure, earthy tones alongside red fruit and great balance, with at least 1 year of bottle age before release.
