Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Fresh red berry fruits aromas combine with a distinctive dried herb nose, with layers of pot pourri and spice. Chalky tannins and lively acidity entwine around a core of vibrant red fruits. This is a fresh and aromatic wine of elegance and poise."
95/100 Jamie Goode, WineAnorak.com, August 2025 (2022 Vintage)
"Lovely fresh red cherry nose with some white pepper and floral berry fruits. Some rose petal. The palate has nice texture and some iodine notes, with silky cherry and plum fruit. Amazing elegance here, much more red fruited than black. On the cusp of herbal but still has sweet fruit."
94/100 Emma Jenkins MW, Decanter UK, August 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Expressive, perfumed nose with bright wild raspberry, red currant, violets and a touch of wild thyme and peppery spice. The palate has good fruit compaction and a linear structure with vivid acidity, fine chalky tannins and a dry, slightly savoury finish. Good energy and drive – you definitely see the jump in acidity from Te Kano’s Central Otago Pinots but it’s juicy, not hard-edged, and nicely balanced by the intense fruit."
