Wild strawberry black cherry, brown spice and bright, floral aromas combine with nicely integrated fruit with flavours of blueberry, plum, nutmeg and mocha. A pure expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir. Luscious and fruit focussed with great flavour and soft supple tannin.

Central Otago fruit from Peregrine Bendigo Estate, Gibbston and select Cromwell basin sites.

The 2020 season started dry and cool in Central Otago, followed by warmer temperatures throughout Summer and a lovely ripening period in Autumn. This resulted in smaller bunches and berries, with lovely purity and intensity of flavour.

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. 16° ideal serving temperature.
