One of our favourite Central Pinot's.  Consistency is key here as is the price. Double Gold at the recent 2024 NZIWS.

"Deeply coloured with a stunning sweet cherry fragrance and a spicy nut bouquet. Generous sweet cherry, boysenberry and plum flavours with finely integrated oak. This vintage is beautifully balanced with a silky velvety richness. The fruit was hand harvested in March 2023, 100% de-stemmed followed by a long cold maceration, fermented slowly and gently pressed. This wine has been filtered, is unfined and aged in French oak barriques, of which 25% were new, for 11 months." Winery notes (2023 Vintage)

"Fantastic bouquet of variety, ripeness, site and region. A bouquet of fresh red and dark cherries, dried raspberry and fresh plums. This is layered between scents of new French barrel and a touch of wood smoke then a fine layer of dried herb and baking spices. Delicious as the wine touches the palate, a fine satin texture is cushioned against tannins and acidity delivering plushness and texture. Complex, youthful, taut and dry. A wine to drink now or cellar, both work. Best drinking from 2027 through 2037." Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, May 2024 (2023 Vintage)

"This delicious red was estate-grown at Bendigo, hand-harvested and matured in French oak barriques. Deep, bright ruby, it is weighty, sweet-fruited, savoury, and supple, with strong cherry, plum and spice flavours, hints of liquorice and nuts, good tannin backbone, and excellent depth, complexity and harmony." 5 Stars Michael Cooper (2023 Vintage)
