2024 Two Paddocks Pinot Noir

95 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Youthful and enticing, the bouquet shows dark plum, blueberry, violet, cured meat, and toasted nut aromas. The palate displays bright fruit flavours with spicy nuances, splendidly supported by silky texture and fine tannins, making it harmonious and balanced with a lengthy, delectable finish. Certified organic.

Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

An organically grown, barrel selection of four Central Otago vineyards - The Fusilier in Bannockburn, First Paddock in Gibbston, Last Chance and Red Bank in Alexandra. Mid-ruby in the glass, there’s some lovely whiffy struck match reduction on the nose here, twitching through the wild strawberry, macerated raspberry and red and dark cherry fruits. Sinewy with a stony, fine-tannin chew, layers of exotic spice, light game tones and an earthy flow as the wine trails with a bright, minerally cadence, powering it forward; this is great drinking.

James Suckling

Vivid and racy, with wild berries, smoke and matchsticks on the nose, following through to a medium body with fine tannins. Textured and juicy. From organically grown grapes.
