Central Otago
Explorer 2024, Pinot Noir
Wonderfully ripe and beautifully lifted, the bouquet shows fresh dried herb, spicy black and redcurrant aromatics lead way to a focussed elegant driven palate. There is plenty of fruit weight enclosed in a textural strong driven palate. This wine gives good strength, freshness and poise.
Cellaring Recommendations: 3-5 years At its best: now to 2028. Certified organic.
"It's splendidly fruited and fragrant on the nose, showing dark plum, cherry, thyme, clove, and almond notes, leading to a succulent palate offering silky texture and plump mouthfeel. Harmonious and smooth with a lingering, delectable finish." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 94 points.
