McArthur Ridge 2023 Southern Tor Pinot Noir
Winery : McArthur Ridge
McArthur Ridge is in the Alexandra sub-region of Central Otago. At 45.25' degrees South, this is the most southern of Central's vineyard areas, and among the most southern in the world. Long, slow ripening bestows superb concentration and depth of flavour, and in the hands of winemaking maestro Matt Connell, McArthur Ridge has produced something out of the blocks!
Vineyard notes: Hand picked, 100% de-stemmed, ferment a combination of wild yeast and inoculation to enhance the clonal differences. Deep ruby, the nose is complex with mocha, vanilla and dark berry fruits supported by a lovely floral quality. Palate is layered with dark cherry, wild thyme and spice notes. Fine tannins, balanced acidity and a long, fine finish.
