One of the most respected Pinot's on the market.

"Grasshopper Rock’s Earnscleugh vineyard is one of the world’s southern most vineyards. Established in 2003 and dedicated to Pinot Noir. One of Central Otago’s premier vineyard sites.

Perfumed with violets, blackberries, strawberry, hints of spice, chocolate and dried herb. A full silky entry with dark plum, dark cherry, florals and forest floor notes. Concentrated and complex with good minerality, ample fine-grained tannins and a persistent finish. Firm acid backbone which melds well with the dark fruit profile.

The fruit (clones 5, 777, 114, 115, Abel and 667) was harvested from the 5th – 11th April 2022. The fruit was destemmed into tanks to undergo fermentation by a mix of selected and wild yeast with peak fermentation was 30°C. Total time on skins was approximately 20 days. The wine was aged in French Oak Barriques for approximately 10 months, of which 28% was new oak." Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
