Perched amidst the picturesque schist soils of Central Otago, the 2025 vintage of this Pinot Noir unfolds its story with a masterful grace. Each sip envelops the senses with a symphony of vibrant red fruit, seamlessly interwoven with the earthy elegance of the terroir. This wine, with its beguiling balance and inviting complexity, is the epitome of refined craftsmanship.
The intricate dance of flavors is further enhanced by the 66% whole bunch fermentation, bestowing a sublime structural depth. The 14 months spent maturing in French oak barriques lends a subtle whisper of spice and a silky texture that caresses the palate. Every taste reveals new layers, inviting contemplation and appreciation.
Our Personal Take
We are captivated by the distinct expression of Clone 5 Pinot Noir in this vintage. The care taken in its hand-harvesting and the artful use of indigenous yeast fermentation reflect a dedication to authenticity and quality. It's a wine that not only tells the story of its origin but invites you to be part of it.
Perfect Pairing: Delight in pairing this Pinot with a tender duck breast, where the wine's fruit-forward character harmonizes beautifully with the rich flavors, elevating both to new culinary heights.

“Black cherry and plum, black liquorice, black olive, sweet spices and a whiff of lavender… firm, complex and compelling, with more tannic structure than usual for the winery.”95 points - The Real Review
“Silken-textured with floral and berry-fruit flavours, physiologically ripe and deliciously accessible. A core of sweet fruit balanced by gentle acidity and fine, ripe tannins. Elegant and poised.”94 points - James Suckling
“Energetic and lively red fruits of strawberries, cranberries and rose petals, with cloves, tea leaves and crushed rocks. Crisp acidity and finely-grained tannins, framed with precision. From organically grown grapes.”
