Sourced from the unique Cornish Point Vineyard in Bannockburn, Central Otago, this single-vineyard Pinot Noir is defined by its proximity to Lake Dunstan, which creates a distinct mesoclimate. The wine is celebrated for its succulent, generous mouthfeel, intense floral aromatics, and a core of dark fruit, often showing notes of black cherry, plum, and subtle baking spices. Crafted with minimal intervention, including wild yeast fermentation, whole-cluster inclusion, and no fining or filtering, it offers a polished, silky texture with sophisticated, fine-grained tannins and remarkable length.
This is an absolute masterpiece of New World Pinot Noir; you must experience its seamless integration of power and elegance at least once.
