2006 First Paddock Pinot Noir

Information & Tasting Notes

Nestled in the heart of the Gibbston Valley, Two Paddocks is the vineyard of acclaimed actor Sam Neil. Wine is hand crafted using traditional methods and aged in small French oak barrels.

A warm and near frost free start to the 2006 season. This continued on through the summer months with warmer and drier conditions than the past two vintages giving a good crop level and even fruit quality. Autumn was very short giving the vines the time to ripen the fruit more slowly and gain those wonderful complexities of Central Otago Pinot Noir.

Blackberry, with a creamy chocolate vibrancy, the nose is complimented with hints of wild spice and violets. Finely grained tannins lead on an elegant textured palette, leading to a finish that displays depth of flavour and an individual strength and persistence.
