Two Paddocks The Major General Pinot Noir
Region: Central Otago, New Zealand
Vintage: 2021
Bottle size: 75cl
Grape: Pinot Noir
ABV: 12.5%
Aromatics of blackberries and violets. Medium bodied with bright freshness and elegant precision.
A blend of three sub-regions, Alexandra 19%, Gibbston 39% and Bannockburn 42%. Hand harvested and sorted, 62% whole bunch pressed. The wine had 12 months of elevage (post fermentation maturation) in French oak barrique, 24% new wood, before being blended and then spent a further 6 months maturing in stainless steel before bottling.
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.
