Mt Difficulty Long Gully Pinot Noir 2018

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

Vineyard Sourced from the Long Gully vineyard in Bannockburn, where low-yielding vines, warm exposures, and schist-rich soils help produce Pinot Noir with intensity and depth. The site is known for producing fruit with both dark fruit richness and strong structural detail.

Wine A concentrated and beautifully evolved Pinot Noir with aromas of black cherry, dried herbs, forest floor, and spice. The palate is silky and layered, with resolved tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, earthy finish.
