Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2020

Quite light ruby garnet , wide garnet rim . On the nose this shows red currant , wild strawberry , dry spice , dried rose , herbal touches and tangerine peel . The palate is quite elegant with wild strawberry , red currant and those fresh herbal hints , with just a touch of bitterness . Fresh acidity , and slightly gritty tannins . Quite refreshing with good length and balance, that touch of bitterness doesn’t detract from the rest of wine. This is quite linear and focused, perhaps slightly strict , uncompromising in style , but probably has a few years left in the cellar and might improve over the next 2-3 years and last well a further 5 or so. — 5 months ago

Crisp! Some acidity but not hateful, green apple and some grapefruit. Sadly purchased on close out, hope I can find again. — 21 days ago

Mature Vine Lake Wanaka Pinot Noir 2010

This was rich and delicious. It was fair enough for Suckling to pose the question “Is this the best NZ Pinot so far”? Ticks all the requisite boxes - ripe red and black fruits, a creamy texture, a nice garrigue herbal note. This Pinot lives up to the gorgeous site - one of the most awesome views you will see from the top of the vineyard over Lake Wanaka. Most impressive. — 2 months ago

Jo is a great host with one of the best winery views in the world. Wines don’t suck either.

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2021

Pinot Noir from the Central Otago region of New Zealand is definitely worth seeking out! Burgundy in style. Mushrooms, Forrest floor, graphite, ripe berries, and bubblegum. — 9 months ago

I'm yet to be delighted by a NZ pinot, but you've got me with Burgundian.. I'll look for this! Cheers!

Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2019

Fantastic. Fresh red fruit aromas rise readily from the wine to be followed with an explosion in flavor. Fresh red berries and raspberries lifted by an earthy minerality slowly disappearing in a lingering finish. — 7 days ago

Wowww. Just opening the bottle and pouring it into a glass, the aroma filled the air. So potent, so fresh. And then just the first sip not only confirmed that it added mineral earth, vibrant notes of red fruit — red berries that reminded me of my youth eating them straight from the bush back at our farm. Lingering, sooting finish. Just amazing.

Caroline's Waitaki Valley Pinot Noir 2021

Finest pinot noir I have ever had. Compares to high end burgundy with ripe plum, and soft dried herbs of sage and thyme. Elegant structure with saline minerality from limestone soils. Hands down best wine in nz that I have tried — 3 months ago
