Winery notes (2016 Vintage)
"The Crater Rim Central Otago Pinot Noir fruit was sourced from two small parcels of fruit within the Central Otago region. The fruit was fermented in open top vats by native yeasts followed by maturation on lees in French Oak barriques for 12 months. Mouth filling a savoury Central Otago Pinot Noir with dark berry, plum and cherry flavours. Vibrant and concentrated with good harmony. A Pinot Noir true to its Central Otago origins."
91/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, September 2017 (2016 Vintage)
"It is beautifully fragrant on the nose showing red cherry, plum, floral and spice characters with a subtle savoury nuance. The palate displays juicy fruit intensity and fine texture, together with spicy notes and fine tannins. The wine is poised and stylish, and offers elegance as well as up front drinkability. At its best: 2020."
