Mt Difficulty (Otago) 2022 Bannockburn Pinot Noir

Surely one of the best known names of Central Otago Pinot Noir and for very good reason.

"True to its Bannockburn home, this 2020 vintage opens with vibrant aromas of cherry and berries, complemented by a subtle hint of spice from the careful use of oak. An energetic palate of red cherry, strawberry and black plums leads to a long finish framed by firm, fine tannins.”

—Matt Dicey, Winemaker

““Deep, dark, and dense with notes of red and black cherry, red currant, and a touch of baking spice. this leads into an opulent palate full of boysenberry, strawberry, and black cherry fruit. A touch of cinnamon and star anise spice from the oak balances the wine. A long finish flows through with silky tannins.”.”

“Ripe stone fruit and citrus blossom on the nose with hints of spice, pear and iced peach tea. The palate echoes the nose with orange and tangerine citrus, yellow peach and ginger. A succulent mid palate flows through to soft acidity, plenty of bright fruit sweetness and a faint textural finish.”
