Two Paddocks Pinot Noir 2022

Two Paddocks' flagship Pinot Noir is a testament to the Neill family's dedication to organic viticulture in Central Otago. This meticulously curated blend from four estate vineyards exudes elegance and finesse. Red cherry, plum, blackberry bramble, and spice aromatics lead to a rich, textured wine that embodies lush fruitiness with softness and poise. Handcrafted using traditional methods, including indigenous fermentation and 46% whole bunch inclusion, this wine matures in French barriques for 11 months, with a touch of new oak (18%). 

"Rich, concentrated pinot noir with cassis, dark chocolate, ripe berry/blackberry and a smattering of spicy oak. Impressive intensity with fruit smothering ripe tannins and giving a boost to drinkability despite the wine's obvious ageing potential. Very impressive. 2023–2035." - 96 points, The Real Review
