94 Points - James Suckling jamessuckling.com
"Very fresh with sliced strawberries, hazelnut, cappuccino, and biscuit character yet always subtle. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a nice acid background running through the wine."

Winery note
"Upon release it has a bright ruby hue. The nose is soft and inviting, slowly unfurling with nuances of tamarillo, pomegranate and gogi berry, interlaced with touches of vanilla, woodsmoke, lavender and an earthy, savoury underlay. The palate is sweetly fruited and supple, with plush polished tannins and a ripe, spice driven mouthfeel. An ethereal and elegant wine, coupled with a rounded body and splash of refreshing acidity that provides harmony and length, flowing perfectly through to its long, rewarding finish."

Maude (Otago) 2023 Pinot Noir

Listed in the 2019 Fine Wines of New Zealand list

Winer Note:
Maude’s Pinot Noir combines fruit from 5 sub–regions within Central Otago, each region contributed uniquely to the blend. Fermented very traditionally in open topped tanks, hand plunged, indigenous yeasts with a portion of whole bunch in each fermenter to create complexity. A month on skins for tannin development prior to gentle pressing through our basket press, then maturation in French oak barriques for 10 months before bottling. The result; a complex dark and brooding wine with aromas and flavours of black fruits, violets and wild thyme. 

Blackcurrant, bramble, dark cherry, plum, smoke, velvet. A savoury and structural expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir where precision and detail replace volume and mass."
