The flagship from Two Paddocks. An organically grown barrel selection from the estate properties. In 2022 this wine was produced from the four Neill family Central Otago vineyards. These small sites are high-density planted in a range of clonal material cropped to under 5 Tonne per hectare with most vineyard practices carried out by hand. As in the vineyard, the wine is hand crafted using traditional methods including a 46% whole bunch, indigenous fermentation and hand plunging. Maturation is in French barriques for 11 months, using a mix of older and new (18%) barrels.

A very very small company, utterly obsessed with Pinot Noir. And Riesling. And with great pride - organics, quality, authenticity, detail and style. With land in all three major valleys of Central Otago and a long term vision for small single vineyard pinot noir blocks spread throughout the region. Each has a unique soil and climatic blueprint.
