Wild Earth Earth & Sky Pinot Noir 2019
- Textured, savoury
- Central Otago
This is one of the top pinots of an absolute mofo fave - Wild Earth. They are not only one of our favourites, but a darling of the wine media who absolutely love them. The best grapes from vineyards in the renowned Bannockburn area are the ingredients for this wine, along with a modest 22% new oak thatâs judicious use really letâs the fruit shine. And shine it does - cherry and plum abound in vibrant spades, complimented by incense, cedar and wild thyme. All of the reviews mention the well-handled and abundant tannins - so get this wine into a decanter for the best experience.

âOffering grace and sophistication, this stunning rendition shows dark cherry, violet, thyme, toasted almond and subtle spice aromas on the nose, leading to a gorgeously weighted and rounded palate that displays flowing mouthfeel and silky tannins. Itâs complex and multi-layered with sweet fruit and engaging savoury nuances, finishing impressively long and refined.â

Region
Central Otago
Central Otago is the New Zealand's highest and the world's most southerly wine region at latitude 45°S. It has cold winters, hot summers, cool nights and low rainfall, and is ideally suited to Pinot Noir, which covers 80% of plantings. The rest is mainly planted to Chardonnay, with smatterings of Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris. Expect character and intensity as the hallmarks of this marginal region.
