Two Paddocks PICNIC Pinot Noir 2022

Well reviewed, see below.

Tasting Notes:    Lifted raspberry, red fruit, dark plum and violet aromatics on the nose, leads to a lithe elegantly textured mouthfeel, which shows great density, elegance and freshness.

About Two Paddocks:    Actor Sam Neill planted his original 2 hectare vineyard, the First Paddock site, at Gibbston in Central Otago in 1993. That vineyard has now been doubled in size and two more blocks added, the 3 hectare Alex Blocks vineyard perched above the Clutha River at Alexandra and the 5.5 hectare Redbank Paddocks site in the Earnscleugh Valley.

Gorgeously elegant and sweetly fruited, the inviting bouquet shows dark plum, wild strawberry, olive, toasted almond and subtle spice aromas, leading to a beautifully weighted palate offering silky texture and layers of fine-grained tannins. Elegant yet brilliantly structured, finishing splendidly long and satisfying. Certified organic. At its best: now to 2032.
