Nevis Bluff Central Otago Pinot Noir 2023

A rare, unmissable Central Otago Pinot deal – the kind that only comes around every few years. High-density vines (like Grand Cru Burgundy), hand-picked, whole bunch fermented, and aged in French oak for 9 months. Spellbinding Pinot from a dark horse of the region – and a must-try from us.

Tasting Notes

Cooler blackcurrant, violet and spicy herb aromatics lead to a seamless elegantly poised wine showing lots of finesse and drive in a feminine style. A wine of bright fruit characters. Will cellar for up to 6-10 years.

Product Highlights

If you like Pinot with more body and a bit of grunt, Central Otago is the benchmark for that style.

This leans into that darker, more structured side of Pinot. There’s still plenty of red fruit, but it’s backed by a savoury edge and a bit more shape through the palate.

The winemaking plays a big part here. Whole bunch fermentation brings spice and structure, while time in French oak rounds things out without taking over.

It’s a Pinot that holds its own at the table. Think duck, pork, or anything with a bit of richness where you want that extra depth to match.
