Wild Earth Central Otago Pinot Noir

This wine is deep garnet in colour with intense aromas of cherry, blackberry, cedar, wild thyme, mushroom and earthy loam. The palate is well-structured with great intensity and length, silky tannins and enticing layers of vibrant fruit.

The grapes for this wine come from the 'Terraces' vineyard in Felton Road, Bannockburn. It is planted with predominantly Dijon clones (777,115 ,114 and 667). The combination of the clay, schist, silty loam soils and the alpine climate produce a wine that is one of a kind.
