This 2022 vintage Pinot Noir hails from Central Otago, where the dramatic climate produces wines with exceptional texture and depth. The vines struggle in the harsh environment, yet yield fruit with concentrated flavour and the silky mouthfeel the region has become famous for. Aged for 10 months in 15 percent new oak, the wine gains subtle spice notes without overwhelming the fruit.

Nose: Ripe blackberry and dark cherry lead, followed by well-worn leather and a whisper of oak-derived spice that adds complexity without dominating the fruit-forward character.

Palate: That signature Central Otago texture delivers a plush, opulent feel across the mid-palate, with blackberry and cherry flavours supported by fine tannins and balanced acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lively.

Finish: The wine lingers with dark fruit notes and a touch of savoury leather, leaving a warming impression that invites the next sip.

Pair this Pinot Noir with duck breast, roasted game birds, or mushroom-based dishes that echo the earthy complexity of the wine.

Serve at 14-16°C in a large-bowled red wine glass to allow the aromas to fully express themselves.

Whether you’re building a cellar, seeking an everyday pour that punches above its price point, or looking for a thoughtful gift that supports conservation efforts, The Woodsman delivers quality and conscience in equal measure.
