If you’re looking for a Central Otago pinot noir with both depth, intensity and also playful perkiness on the palate, then you’ve arrived in the right cul-de-sac my friend. Boasting deliciously defined floral notes, lifted spices and cherry on the nose, followed by tamarillo and hedgerow fruits on the palate, this is a youthful, succulent, beautifully balanced style that bursts with personality and immediate drinkability, and yet shows great cellaring potential as well. Made by Matt Connell, who was also named Winemaker of the Show at the NZ International Wine Show, this pinot is incredibly well-crafted and darn lovely to drink.
