Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand, 2017
This is one of the great Pinot Noirs coming out of Central Otago, a region in the centre of the South Island which has developed an enviable reputation for producing elegant age-worthy wines. With fresh, ripe morello-cherry flavours, it also has structure and tangy acidity.
Wonderful with duck.

Perfumed Pinot Noir focused on dark berry and black cherry; brambly herb elements overlay a combination of violet and deep baronial florals. The wine displays breadth, focus and a fine plush finish. Savoury brambly blackberry introduces the wine, followed by a broad textured mid palate; this moves seamlessly into plush fine textural tannins. Dark cherry notes frame the finish.
