Central Otago
Surveyor Thomson 2019, Pinot Noir
Terroir in a glass – very site specific, sophisticated and unique. On the nose, blackberries, spice, violets and wild herb aromatics. Medium bodied with an interesting mix of red fruits and savoury notes. A complex, high energy wine, perfect to enjoy today or to patiently cellar.“
"A lovely, savoury, briar-flecked ride with fruit notes of red and dark cherry with some blackberry bass tones. Hints of wild thyme, mountain herbs, wildflowers, dried meats, leaf litter, turned earth and stone. Quite taut and sinewy with a lovely flow and tension then release. Powdery, tight tannins and minerally acidity play their part on the exit, which is complex and stony.” Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion, 93 points.
