Mt Difficulty ‘Ghost Town’ Pinot Noir 2020, Central Otago

Description

The Mt Difficulty winery is named after what was once an impassable mountain for New Zealand explorers. Today, brave winemakers have traversed its steep slopes, discovering it an ideal location for growing the delicate Pinot Noir grape. The ‘Ghost Town’ vineyard is at 340 metres about sea level, so this wine shows lots of fresh dark cherry and spice flavours. Age for a further 8-12 years or drink now with duck.
