2019 Two Paddocks Pinot Noir, Central Otago

This flagship Two Paddocks Pinot Noir is a barrel selection from organically grown grapes from the Neill family’s four vineyards: The Fusilier in Bannockburn, The Last Chance and The Red Bank in Earnscleugh, The First Paddock in Gibbston. The 2019 is an outstanding vintage here. Ruby red in colour, the nose is luscious yet very pure, with floral lift and an enticing combination or ripe red and black fruits. Palate is supple and ripe, with fine, silky textures and perfect harmony of fruit and acidity. This is an energetic, racy wine, with super length of flavour (for drinking 2021 – 2025+).
