Description

Gracefully powerful with splendid poise and sophistication, the bouquet shows dark berry, bouquet garni, charcuterie, dried flower and roasted nut aromas, followed by a concentrated palate delivering velvety texture and plump mouthfeel. It’s engaging and enticing with layers of delectable flavours backed by beautifully infused tannins, finishing impressively long and seductive.”

“A powerful and structured pinot that has a linear line running through from the ultra-fine tannins. Its medium to full body.”

“Fresh acidity with everything in balance and focus. Spicy and flinty at the end. Impressive now but will age beautifully. Drink or hold. Screw cap.”

95 PointsJames Suckling | JS Wine Ratings | October 2022

“A mix of floral/ red rose/ violet, dark cherry/ plum and savoury/ subtle herb, hedgerow and grapevine stem flavours. Seamless, silken red that is deliciously drinkable now. Drink 2023 – 2029.”

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:

In 1959 Andrew Donaldson's grandfather bought a house in the stunning but then remote location of Lake Wanaka, Central Otago.  Serendipity and some decades later this wonderous and challenging area is now one of the world's most exciting places to make Pinot noir, Andrew’s favourite varietal.  Vine and man love growing here.
