THE BEST CENTRAL OTAGO PINOT BUY IN OUR 26 YEAR HISTORY!!!
A CANCELLED EXPORT PARCEL OF PREMIUM PINOT HAS BECOME AVAILABLE DUE TO TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS. 
THIS DELICIOUS WINE IS PRODUCED BY McARTHUR RIDGE - ONE OF THE HOTTEST CENTRAL OTAGO PINOT PRODUCERS IN THE GAME* 

FIVE STARS 94/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Excellent weight and ripe fruit intensity... silky texture and polished tannins"

A cancelled export order has delivered this extraordinary parcel of quality Central Otago Pinot Noir at a pricepoint we have never before seen in our 26-year history - let alone for FIVE STAR Pinot from such a lauded Central Otago producer. From a value for money perspective, we fervently believe that this deal completely redefines the standard for Central Otago Pinot. You will not believe the quality on offer here for this price. We will stake our reputation on that.

2023 was a very good vintage in Central and this release is showing all the benefits of that strong growing season. Soft, warm and generously fruited, it opens with waves of dark cherry and ripe plum, threaded with gentle spice and subtle savoury complexity. The palate is silky and flowing, with beautifully integrated tannins and a plush, comforting texture that makes it impossible not to go back for another glass. Expect it to evolve beautifully over the next 5+ years should you choose to cellar some for future enjoyment.

 *McArthur Ridge's rise over the last few years has been nothing short of stratospheric. They now operate firmly at the top tier of Central Otago Pinot production, having rocketed into the spotlight after one of their other pinots claimed Best in Show Pinot Noir at the Decanter World Wine Awards - effectively crowning it the World’s Best Pinot Noir. That breakthrough has been reinforced time and again with multiple trophies and gold medals at the NZIWS, alongside a growing list of major international accolades, cementing their status as, arguably, the hottest current Central Otago Pinot Noir producer in the game.

Tasting Notes

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Rich and enticing, the inviting bouquet shows dark plum, raspberry, floral, almond and warm spice aromas. The palate is equally appealing with excellent weight and ripe fruit intensity, wonderfully framed by silky texture and polished tannins."
The winery writes "This wine exhibits a red/purple colour with a crimson hue. The nose reveals cherry and summer berries. A hint of leather with integrated oak and sweet vanillin adds depth and complexity that entices you to savour this wine. The palateshows a delicate elegance of black cherries and red berry fruit. The tannins are supple and well-integrated, adding length andsupporting the palate.The wine is instantly attractive and gratifying and complements a wide range of foods including, cheese, pasta, grilled and roasted meats, and vegetables."
