Tasting Notes
Ripe hand picked fruit, gentle winemaking and maturation in French oak
have resulted in a complex and powerful wine, with aromas of dark
cherry and chocolate, with a rich and silky smooth palate and a long
spicy finish. A great example of one of the best Central Otago Pinot
Noirs. Drinking fantastically well now and will develop and cellar for
several years
Wooing Tree Pinot Noir
