Premium Award-Winning Bannockburn Pinot Noir
Premium fruit parcels were hand-picked and selected by our Winemaker to craft this Single Vineyard wine that is a true representation of our boutique Central Otago vineyard.
This delightful Pinot Noir has fragrant aromas of raspberry, dried herb, black pepper, tobacco and hints of clove. With a juicy palate of red fruits, rich cherry, plum, dried herb and spice. The palate is well rounded with a nice mineral focus, medium tannins and a long complex finish.
This elegant wine compliments a range of darker meat dishes including lamb, beef, game dishes, salmon, tuna and peking duck.
Enjoy now or cellar for up to 10 years.
Awards
Sam Kim said about this wine :
"Complex and seductive, the bouquet shows dark berry, tapenade, dried mushroom, almond and warm spice aromas. The palate displays excellent weight and plump mouthfeel, wonderfully complemented by plush texture and finely melded tannins, finishing superbly long and enticing. At its best: now to 2034."

Food Match
The bright powerful berry fruit nature of our Pinot lends itself to game dishes including rabbit, quail, pigeon and duck.
The delicacy of this Bald Hills Pinot Noir results in an excellent match with stronger flavoured fish such as salmon and tuna.
If in doubt, the classic match with roast lamb never fails to impress.
