Crawford Block

2018 Central Otago Pinot Noir

The 2018 Bannock Brae Crawford Block Pinot Noir exhibits a stunning ruby color that gleams in the glass. Hailing from the renowned Central Otago region, this wine captivates with its medium-bodied profile and a bright acidity that adds a refreshing lift. Offering a delightful balance, it showcases prominent fruit intensity marked by ripe cherry and wild blackberry aromas, complemented by subtle floral notes. The tannins are notably firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the fruit character. This wine is beautifully dry, making it an exceptional choice for food pairings, and its harmonious elements create a captivating sensory experience that reflects the unique terroir of Central Otago.

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
