Bessie's Block

2013 Central Otago Pinot Noir

Mount Michael Bessie's Block is an exquisite Pinot Noir from the renowned Central Otago region, known for producing exceptional wines thanks to its unique microclimate and mountainous terrain. This 2013 vintage showcases a vibrant ruby color that hints at its youthful elegance. The wine is medium-bodied, presenting a delightful balance between fruit intensity and acidity, making it refreshing and approachable. Notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, and delicate floral undertones dance on the palate, complemented by subtle earthy nuances. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the fruit.
