Offers a glimpse into the dark Pinot heart of Central Otago, New Zealand’s only inland and continental wine region, producing some of the richest Pinots in the country. Dark red-crimson hues. Full of immediate charm with that scent of earth, woody spices, dark herbs, equally dark fruits and florals with bay leaf and vanillin oak. It’s quite the package, sweet fruited, savoury tannin-ed, dark and complex. Keeps true to the richer Central style of Pinot gracing the palate with dried autumnal leaves, earth, dark plum, dark cherry, baking spices and a toasty thread, all carried by a lively acidity.
