2019 Picnic Pinot Noir, Two Paddocks, Central Otago

100% organic certified, from vineyards owned by Two Paddocks in Alexandra, Gibbston and Bannockburn, behind Picnic`s fun-loving name is a Pinot Noir with impressive depth of fruit and length of flavour. Aged for 9 months in predominantly old French oak barriques (just 4% new), aromas are upfront and perfumed, with notes of toasty red cherries and strawberries. Palate is juicy and beautifully concentrated, with vibrant freshness, and a satisfyingly long finish. This is a vivid expression of Central Otago Pinot with a generosity that keeps you reaching for the glass (for drinking now – 2022+).
