Central Otago
Surveyor Thomson 2022, Pinot Noir
Lush redcurrant, violet and spicy doris plum notes aromatically. The palate shifts into a thightly interwoven array of textural drive showing presence, depth, poise and elegance
"A lovely bouquet and palate with a core of red berries and sweet plums, raspberry and roses. There's a fleshy mouthfeel at first then as the tannins and acidity dial in the texture changes to add a mild tautness and acid line carries the flavours through the palate well. Medium+ length, lighter weighted and with some elegance. Well-made and thoughtful...." Cameron Douglas MS,94 points
"Gorgeously complex and alluring, the bouquet shows dark berry, dried herb, porcini, game, and roasted nut aromas. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent weight and plush texture, wonderfully framed by finely infused tannins, finishing impressively long and expansive." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 96 points.
