An elegant wine with fresh red fruit characters to enjoy now or cellar to reward you later.When: The quality of grapes from this vineyard is exceptional. The red fruit flavours make this a delightful wine to drink young, but with some age you will see this wine come into its own.

The food you partner with this wine may be considered a little sophisticated, which will only make this moment all the more special.Why: The only way to understand the fascination with this captivating grape is to take your time with it, to engage in discussion about it, to actively compare it with other pinot noir wines, and to drink it with the cuisine it works best with. Pinot noir is a journey and one of the most enjoyable wine journeys you can find.

Nanny Goat Vineyard is the clear leader of the pack when it comes to affordable Central Otago Pinot Noir. Made in a fruit forward style with mounds of fresh berry fruit and intense lifted perfume notes of violet and blueberry. Still medium-bodied on the palate with soft, powdery tannin, this is a Pinot for the moment.

Medium weight with subtle power of black fruit and cherry, rhubarb and rose petal lift.

We made no wine from our NSW vineyards due to extreme smoke taint concentrations from the bushfires that ravaged our region from December to late January 2020. With this on our minds we headed west, as far as we could go to look for fruit and winemaking space. Luckily lots of industry colleagues stepped up to help and we found ourselves with options from Swan valley, Margaret and Frankland rivers and the deep south vineyards of Porongurup. This is one of a pair of multi-region blends based on the fruit from this wonderful old vineyard in the Swan valley near Perth. Dry grown, bush vines, quite hot area very reminiscent of Spain and Portugal. Our Long Way Around Tinto is based on this Swan valley Grenache blended with Syrah from Margaret River and Pinot Noir from Porongurup plus a little chenin to boot.

A single-vineyard expression from this site, Tussie Mussie is a rich earthy Pinot Noir with clear cherry fruit aroma. The palate is soft and slippery, full and generous with very fine tannin. Ready to drink now.
