"It's sweetly fruited and enticing on the nose with ripe cherry, smoked mushroom, thyme and roasted nut characters.

Strawberry, raspberry and floral aromas combine with subtle brown spice and a hint of thyme. A pure expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir. A luscious and fruit focused Pinot Noir with great flavour and soft supple tannins.

Harvested in Central Otago - Bendigo, Gibbston and select Cromwell basin sites. 

The mild summer combined with classic large diurnal shifts in autumn led to a long ripening period giving great complexity and concentration to the fruit. 

Mostly destemmed with a small portion of whole cluster fermentation, and 10 months maturation in older French oak.

Food Pairing: Game, pork or lamb dishes.
