Tax included.

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Region: Central Otago, NZ
Winemakers: Sarah Adamson + Greg Lane

The 2023 Scout Central Otago Pinot Noir is a single-vineyard wine from the renowned Muirkirk vineyard in Bannockburn, one of Central Otago’s most celebrated Pinot Noir regions. The vineyard is organically farmed, with Clone 5 Pinot Noir vines planted in loamy soils over deep layers of clay and gravelly schist. Good things! Hand-harvested and spontaneously fermented, it spent 30 days on skins before being pressed and aged for 11 months in French oak barriques. The result is a wine bursting at the seams with bright red fruit, silky tannins, and a vibrant energy - an unfiltered and true expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir.
