Fine tannins give the palate shape without getting in the way of the generous fruit, while French oak adds polish and depth. The grapes come from Nevis Bluff's L'Attitude Vineyard in Pisa, giving this a clear single-site identity and plenty of regional character. It is a smart pick for Pinot drinkers who like a little muscle alongside their elegance, and an excellent match for roast duck, lamb or veal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from 100% Pinot Noir grown at the L'Attitude Vineyard in the Pisa sub-region of Central Otago. Hand-selected fruit was harvested from 2 to 5 April 2024, completely destemmed and barrel fermented before maturation in French oak, with 28% new oak. The wine shows mocha, dark fruit and dried herbs on the nose, followed by Doris plum, red cherry and bramble on a layered palate with fine tannins and a long finish. It is vegan friendly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSam Kim, Wine Orbit, 95 Points and 5 Stars (2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Gorgeously styled and expressed, the wine shows dark plum, rich floral, thyme, smoked game, and hazelnut aromas on the nose.

Additional flavours of clove and baking spices along with a lees and milk chocolate quality emerge as the wine opens out in glass. Dry, balanced, warm and well made with plenty of tannins and acidity for tension and length then a swing back to fruit.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Wine Challenge, 95 Points and Gold Medal (2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Deep crimson colour, blueberry and vanilla aromas.
