Taking fruit from their Parkburn and Gibbston sites, with minimal handling, aiming for what makes up that classic Central Otago Pinot expression. A vibrant nose showing dark cherry, damson, rosehip, thyme and lilac florals. Rich and concentrated dark fruit with a delightful savoury element too – tapenade, espresso bean and mushroom. Tannin is supple, fine and tight, providing an excellent foil to that juicy, lush fruit. Balanced acidity gives drive and the wine flows beautifully across the palate. Warm spices punctuate the long, opulent finish. A treat, once again.

Moderately deep crimson, slight on the rim. The nose is soft with sweet fruit aromas of cherry and plum, underlying dark herb, floral and delicate spice. Medium-bodied, black cherry and plum aromas are savoury, melded with liquorice, rose, thyme, vanilla and cinnamon. The fruit is sweet with savoury, herbaceous complexity. Silky and supple tannins lightly dusted the mouthfeel, smooth flowing with balanced, ripe acidity. This elegant Pinot Noir with lush fruit and herbaceous details is presented on a soft, supple, approachable palate.
