Description

Matt and Sophie both grew up in the enlivening surroundings of Central Otago. With this formative connection we dreamed early on of finding a special vineyard to venerate Central Otago Pinot Noir. We found it in the Anthem vineyard, cradled in the Gibbston Valley. This is a sublime red cherry, raspberry and violet expression of Pinot Noir, chaperoned by a suite of savoury, sappy undertones. Wild fermentation, 50% whole-cluster inclusion and a low-toast oak regime gives elegance, complexity and structure to the wine. Unfiltered.
