Region: Central Otago

Sub-Region: Bendigo

Varieties: Pinot Noir

Vineyard

Sourced from the high-altitude School House Vineyard perched on north-facing slopes in Bendigo. The combination of intense alpine sunshine, cool night breezes, and rocky soils produces concentrated, dense, and structural Pinot Noir.

Wine

A rich, dark, and aromatic Pinot Noir featuring notes of blackberry, dark cherry, forest floor, wild thyme, and toasted spice. The palate is deeply layered with firm, fine-grained tannins, bright mineral drive, and a long, complex finish.

• Roasted leg of lamb
