Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Finla Mor is exclusively sourced from our vineyards within the Cromwell Basin and nurtured through organic farming practices. Meticulously hand-harvested, these vineyards thrive in the mineral-rich, alluvial schist-based soils, imparting a distinctive essence of fruit purity and minerality to the wine.
Offers an intriguing complexity of aromas and flavours shifting through detailed layers of floral tones, red berry, spice, cherry, forest floor and plums; with a plush velvety mouthfeel and generous length."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2021 (2019 Vintage)
"Beautifully fruited and fragrant, the bouquet shows dark plum, roasted nut, olive and hazelnut characters. The palate offers fabulous fruit purity combined with rounded texture and silky mouthfeel, leading to a lengthy velvety finish. Wonderfully harmonious and delectably appealing. Grapes were grown in the Cromwell district. At its best: now to 2029."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2021 (2019 Vintage)
"Complex yet youthful, varietal and fruity, floral and mineral. Core aromas of raspberry and dark red cherry, layers of dried herb and rugged stony mineral scents then French oak spice and toastiness. On the palate – as the nose suggest – very youthful yet complex with layers of red berry fruits and oak, soil, mineral and a rugged charm with power and concentration. Firm tannins and noticeable acidity with contrasting fruit tension. Lengthy finish. A wine that must be in your cellar till end of 2022 at the earliest with best drinking from late 2022 through 2030+."
93/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2019 Vintage)
"Moderately weighty and intense pinot noir with cherry, berry, wood smoke, fresh herbs and spice flavours. It has pleasing purity, a silken texture and a lingering finish.
