Bright ruby with purple highlights. Sun warmed cherries, Doris plums, spiced cinnamon and cloves with underlying savoury notes. A full and vibrant palate the wine reveals a concentrated and fruit-forward core of fresh cherries and blackcurrants while balanced by warm supportive sweet vanilla oak and silky fine-grain tannins before finishing an elegantly balanced freshness.

High in the hills of Central Otago, the Mysterious Diggings vineyard is drenched in sun and comprised of rocky terraces heavy with native schist, imbuing its Pinot Noir namesake with a fragrant sensuality and a tingling minerality.
