Winemakers
Notes
The continental Central Otago climate is one of extremes – the fiercely cold nights and long, warm summer days allow the black queen to display pure, vibrant fruit. From a vineyard in Cromwell, the fruit was handpicked from traditional Pinot Noir clones 6 and 10/5. The wine was hand plunged and 10% whole bunches added back to the ferment. The wine was then matured with French oak for 4 months.
