Tasting Note

In the Olearia glass, the wine is lighter in colour and more mineral on the nose, with graphite, dried bay leaf, hints of scratched licorice, cracked white peppercorns and pomegranate molasses. In the mouth, the wine is silky and restrained, with fruit, yes but tannins most clearly. This is gritty and chalky at once, with a mineral splay of texture through the finish—the tannins drag the flavour through the long finish. Very impressive wine here. - Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate) 94+ Points

This wine perfectly showcases the terroir of Central Otago, promising a sophisticated Pinot Noir experience to discerning wine enthusiasts.
