2023 Centralis Central Otago Pinot Noir
The grapes for the 2023 Centralis Pinot Noir were grown in the Georgetown Vineyard, an early ripening site in the Cromwell basin subregion of Central Otago.
The wine is bright ruby red in colour and the aromas on the nose are dominated by luscious ripe cherry and blackberry notes.
The palate exudes lifted savoury characters threaded with cinnamon spice and thyme.
A smooth finish and long length completes the generous mouthfeel.
A lifted aromatic wine, showcasing the Georgetown vineyard.
