Delightfully approachable, yet complex, this full-bodied Pinot Noir exudes dark cherry and plum aromas. Rich in boysenberry and plum flavours, complimented with harmonious savoury notes, refined tannins and deft oak all complete a mouth-filling and lingering finish. This wine will reward further cellaring.
Bespoke wines offer an experience that departs from the norm. It’s where our winemaker uses free reign to craft superior small-parcel lots according to season, be they different in varietal composition, wine style or a varietal normally blended demanding release as a singular expression. Each wine is an exciting discovery. They are unconventional, tailor-made, rare, special … unique!

All the hallmarks of Central Otago Pinot Noir are immediately recognisable with a savoury dried herb complexity framing aromas of black currant and plum then dark cherry and mineral-earth-smoke scents. Sand and schist, nettles and dark red berry fruits all align. Firm tannins with plenty of polish, medium+ acidity, very good length and style, well made with best drinking from late 2025 through 2032.

Serve with slow cooked lamb shoulder and sauteed mushrooms and roasted root vegetables.
The grapes for this generous wine were grown in the Central Otago region, on low yielding vines. After a long hot summer and the vines in perfect health the grapes were picked at ideal ripeness and flavour profile.
The grapes were gently crushed and allowed to cold soak for 3 days to extract important colour and flavour components. Fermentation proceeded with light plunging for further colour, flavour and fine tannin extraction. After a 10 day post ferment skin contact regime, the resulting wine was then sent to barrel for twelve months ageing in quality French oak (35% new wood) to enhance its natural structure. The wine is un-fined to preserve the natural structure but cross flow filtered prior to bottling on 12th October 2023 under screwcap closure.
