WINE DESCRIPTION
“We grow our premium Two Paddocks Pinot Noir entirely on our four small vineyards in Central
Otago. In some exceptional vintages, listening carefully, we realize that one of these sites may
have something extraordinary to say in its own right. It is only then that we will make one of
these very rare single vineyard wines.” Sam Neill, Proprietor
The First Paddock is our original much loved Two Paddocks vineyard. Planted in 1993, it is now
one of the older blocks in Central Otago. Superbly situated in the midst of upper Gibbston,
planted in carefully selected Burgundian clone pinot noir vines and meticulously tended. This is
a thoughtfully crafted expression of our foundation site. Sourced from the first twenty-five
rows of Clone 5.
Hand harvested and sorted then a 50% whole bunch indigenous ferment in a dedicated First
Paddock French oak cuve. Matured in 30% new French oak with the balance in older wood for
an extended 14 months of barrel maturation.
TASTING NOTES
The wine shows vibrant red fruit and spicy characters, followed by a lithe elegant mouthfeel,
showing brightness, texture and depth.
