Delightfully approachable, yet complex, this supple rich Central Otago Pinot Noir exudes sweet cherry, clove and subtle minerality aromas, with vibrant boysenberry fruit flavours, beautifully complemented with red cherry and savoury oak. Velvety refined tannins lead to a mouth-filling and a lingering finish.
Reserve wines are from low-yielding vines producing superior grapes showing intense fruit flavours and pure varietal expression. The winemaking philosophy is to achieve “balance” of flavour, structure and texture.
Reserve wines are more complex than the Mills Reef range and by matching them with food can greatly enhance your dining experience.

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 short 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 received a light egg white fining and was cross flow filtered prior to bottling on 12th October 2023 under screwcap closure.
