Grasshopper Rock Central Otago Pinot Noir

Grasshopper Rock Central Otago Pinot Noir has dark purple with purple hues. Lovely aromatics of red currants, boysenberries and dried herb with hints of violets, tobacco and cloves. Medium bodied with cherries, raspberries, liquorice and concentrated flavours of tobacco and spice. This wine is finely textured with savoury notes and a lovely mineral acidity on the finish.

Grasshopper Rock is a small Central Otago wine producer, dedicated to the production of single vineyard Pinot Noir. Established in 2003 on a gentle north facing slope across the river from Alexandra, the site is one of the hottest, coldest and driest in New Zealand. Selected for the Fine Wines of New Zealand list. "A wine that can truly stand the test of time as a world-class example of New Zealand's fi nest wine."

Central Otago has quickly established itself as ground zero for Pinot Noir in New Zealand-in the words of Jancis Robinson, "many believe this is where the Pinot grail is to be found".
