Written Notes

Pyramid Valley Central Otago Pinot Noir 2018 – From the Manata Estate at Lowburn Ferry (same vineyard providing the fruit for their Home Block Pinot), which was converted to organics in 2018. Close planted – 3,000 vines/hectare. Destemmed, a small amount of whole berry, ten months in French oak, 19% new.

Another fine Pinot, rich and ripe. Flavours boom out like a thumping drum. Cherry flavours and a hint of mushrooms. Some oak. Has some plushness but is not as complex as the North Canterbury wine. More of a crowd pleaser. Slightly fine grainy tannins. Appealing and delicious. 94. $50.
