Great to try an aged Central Otago Pinot from arguably the Grand Cru area in Otago - in Felton Road. This wine was animale and slightly feral - one of the most Burgundian new world Pinot's I have ever had - loved it. Most young Otago Pinots are similar and it is only with cellaring that the differences and class shine through. This was the best in the flight

Rich complex aromas of mushroom and cola. Spicy, earthy, zippy red fruit, and a soft mellow finish.

Dragged home all the way from NZ. A nose of rich dark berries - very full across the palate with soft but present tannins long elegant finish. It’s soft colour belies it’s strength. Really fine wine!

Mid red, slightly bitter, cherry flavours. Not stunning, but perfectly drinkable.
