Grape: Pinot Noir
Region: Central Otago, New Zealand

Producer's Notes:

"Our Single Vineyard wine from the 20 year old Sauvage Vineyard in Bannockburn. The vineyard
itself is located under hills once prized for gold in this region, now cloaked in wild thyme and
rosehip. The land below is widely sought after for Pinot Noir and the foothills are framed with
vines. Lifted notes of bright red and blue fruits, violets and earthy spice , along with aniseed and
darker herbals. The textural palate is elegant with a supple mouthfeel and structural tannins.
This wine shows layers and expression benefiting from some time in the glass. Cellaring to 10-12
years."
