New Zealand Organic Wine Awards 'Sustainable Vineyard of the Year' 2024
Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Thoughtful and evocative, the Two Paddocks 2024 shows exotic wild herb, red brick and schist derived aromatics. This drives the entry into an enveloping rich, warm, succulent and elegant mouthfeel. The wine is tightly packed and complete, showing tactile finesse and persistence whilst also delivering generosity and enjoyment in its youth.
The flagship from Two Paddocks, the estate Pinot Noir is an organically grown barrel selection produced from the four Central Otago vineyards – The Fusilier in Bannockburn, First Paddock in Gibbston, Last Chance and Red Bank in Alexandra. These small sites are high-density planted in a range of clonal material, cropped to under 5 tonne per hectare with most vineyard practices carried out by hand. An exemplary Central Otago style, which will be enhanced with bottle age."
5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Youthful and enticing, the bouquet shows dark plum, blueberry, violet, cured meat, and toasted nut aromas. The palate displays bright fruit flavours with spicy nuances, splendidly supported by silky texture and fine tannins, making it harmonious and balanced with a lengthy, delectable finish. Certified organic."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2025 (2022 Vintage)
"From four vineyard sites this wine is the flagship and delivers. Aromas of equal parts dark berries and skin, savoury wild spices and oak. Dry, taut, focused and fleshy, an abundance of texture from tannins and acidity framing core fruit flavours of dark plum and boysenberry, raspberry and blackcurrant moments. Violet and wild rose."
94/100 JamesSuckling.com, October 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Vivid and racy, with wild berries, smoke and matchsticks on the nose, following through to a medium body with fine tannins. Textured and juicy. From organically grown grapes."
