Chard Farm Central Otago The Tiger Pinot Noir 2017
The Tiger is named after the late ‘Tiger’ Thomson (no relation to yours truly, although I’d be proud if he was).
Misha’s Vineyard The High Note Pinot Noir 2017
The Misha in this increasingly well known brand is co-owner Misha Wilkinson, who celebrated 11 years of winemaking in Central Otago with her 2017 wines.
Chard Farm Central Otago Mata-Au Pinot Noir 2017
Light in colour and big on flavour, this is one of three sub-regional expressions of Pinot Noir made by Chard Farm
Chard Farm Central Otago Viper Vineyard 2017
The Viper Vineyard Pinot is my pick of the single vineyard wines from the 2017 release from Chard Farm.
Jules Taylor Marlborough Pinot Noir 2018
This is a delicious wine, packed with layers of flavour, intriguing spice flavours, layers of oak and earthiness
Rockburn The Chosen Central Otago Pinot Noir 2018
Another knockout Pinot Noir from Rockburn
Neudorf Vineyards Nelson Pinot Noir 2001
This wine has held together remarkably well. There's still some juicy acidity in the finish while the flavours are bright.
Rockburn 'The Art' Pinot Noir 2016
This is an expensive wine by any standard but it is such a beautifully crafted wine it can wear its price tag with pride.
