Barcode Graphic 750ml: Harvest of Sunshine

Five Stars, Michael Cooper ONZM
"The highly fragrant 2022 vintage was estate-grown at Bendigo, hand-harvested and matured for 11 months in French oak barriques (25 per cent new). A mouth filling, elegant, savoury wine, it has generous cherry, plum and spice flavours, gently seasoned with nutty oak, and ripe, supple tannins. Refined and age worthy, it's well worth cellaring to mid-2025+."

94/100 Points, Wine Orbit, Sam Kim
"Gorgeously elegant and delightfully complex, the fragrant bouquet shows dark plum, violet, roasted nut and wild mushroom aromas. The palate delivers juicy fruit intensity with fleshy texture and beautifully infused tannins, finishing splendidly long and flowing. Wonderfully composed with finesse and harmony."

95/100 Points, Bob Campbell MW – Ranked #5 of 23 Pinot Noir from Central Otago
"Delicately aromatic pinot noir with a mix of floral/violet, cassis, bright cherry, spice and subtle vanilla flavours. The wine shows impressive purity and length. Delicious now but should develop well with bottle age."

95/100 Points, Cameron Douglas MS
"An excellent bouquet of Pinosity and charm, variety and finesse. Central Otago dried herb and ripe cherry fruit aromas with layers of new and used barrel, baking spices and stony mineral core. Flavours on the palate reflect the bouquet with an abundance of ripe fine tannins, some chalky textures and plenty of acidity. A delicious wine destined to age well as well as delivering on variety and ripe fruits, texture, charm and Pinosity. Best drinking from 2024 through 2034. Outstanding."
