Roaring Meg may be the entry level Pinot from Mt Difficulty but it punches well above many other wines from Central Otago. Made in a 'drink-now' style it has a sweet-fruited and super smooth palate with the classic Central Otago notes of berries and dried herbs. Coming from a top producer, Roaring Meg is a no-brainer when you need a crowd pleasing, great tasting, easy-drinking Pinot Noir.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Roaring Meg Pinot Noir 2023 features red, blue and black berry fruit aromatics typical of a warmer vintage. The palate is harmonious with rich dark berries and a savoury line underneath. A hint of spice and dried thyme complement the succulent fruit. Fine tannins frame the wine with a great flow and finish."
92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Great colour intensity and bouquet of dark cherry and black currant, even some baked raspberry and light-weight Otago savoury quality. Dry with a fine chalky tannins texture then core red fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet – raspberry and cherry led, plenty of acidity with a light savoury edge also reflecting the bouquet. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2028."
