Growing up amid Central Otago’s dramatic slopes, we always imagined a Pinot Noir that spoke with that region’s cool-climate clarity; Anthem Vineyard in Gibbston delivers exactly that. This traditionally cooler subregion delivers a Pinot of luminous clarity: bright morello cherry and wild strawberry sit at the core, lifted by violet perfume and a thread of spicy red berry; beneath this sits a sappy, umami savouriness that adds drive and complexity. Wild fermentation, whole-cluster inclusion and a low-toast oak regime gives elegance, complexity and structure to the wine. It’s everything we adore about Pinot Noir - perfume, savoury complexity and boundless energy and freshness.
