Chard Farm The Tiger Central Otago Pinot Noir 2022 $88
The Hay family’s team at Chard Farm are specialists in single-vineyard Pinot Noir’s and this particular one hails from a tiny parcel of fruit grown in a vineyard located in Lowburn, between Wanaka and Cromwell near the shores of Lake Dunstan. The Tiger has a slippery, succulent mouthfeel and is powered by deliciously savoury aromas licked with smoked cherry and wild rhubarb. Laced with baking spices and dusted with dark cocoa, it’s an elegant, finely textured style.
