Grasshopper Pinot Noir 2022

Grasshopper Pinot Noir 2022

• Region: Central Otago
• Sub-Region: Alexandra
• Varieties: Pinot Noir

Vineyard Sourced from the Earnscleugh vineyard near Alexandra, where dry conditions, intense alpine sunlight, and schist-based soils produce small berries with concentrated flavor. Cool nights preserve freshness and aromatic clarity throughout the long growing season.

Wine A finely detailed Pinot Noir with notes of red cherry, dark plum, wild thyme, and floral spice. The palate is silky and energetic, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a long, savory finish.

Food Pairings

• Duck breast with cherry reduction
