Tasting Notes

Powerful and opulent with density and structure, yet it's graceful and sensual, showing dark berry, charcuterie, porcini and toasted spice aromas on the nose. The concentrated palate offers outstanding weight and expansive mouthfeel, wonderfully framed by seamlessly woven tannins. An exceptional offering with a sustained, sophisticated finish. At its best: 2025 to 2036. (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit)

A reserve-level Central Otago Pinot Noir from the single L'Attitude Vineyard, built for cellaring through to 2036.

Why you'll love it: This is a special occasion Central Otago Pinot, generous and polished, with the structure to cellar for years or to open now alongside a slow Sunday roast.

The Awards

Silver Medal and 93 points, International Wine Challenge 2025.

The Vineyard

The fruit comes from a single site, the L'Attitude Vineyard, on the shores of Lake Dunstan in the Pisa sub-region of the Cromwell basin. Planted in Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, it is certified sustainable through Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ), and its rugged, schist-driven terroir suits the concentration and structure of a reserve Pinot.
