Crafted by actor and wine enthusiast Sam Neill at his Central Otago vineyards, Two Paddocks Picnic Pinot Noir 2022 is a vibrant, fruit-forward wine made to be enjoyed young. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards, the grapes are handpicked, fermented with wild yeasts, and aged in seasoned oak to preserve the lively, pure fruit character and approachable style.
Bouquet Fragrant and lifted with aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, and red plum, complemented by hints of wild herbs and soft spice.
Palate Juicy and silky with vibrant red fruit flavours, fine tannins, and a smooth, refreshing finish. Light on its feet yet full of character, offering pure drinking pleasure.
Food Pairing Perfect with picnic fare like cold meats, pâté, roast chicken, mushroom tarts, or simple cheese boards. Also a delightful match for grilled salmon or vegetarian dishes.
Interesting Fact The Picnic range is named after Sam Neill’s favourite pastime—relaxing outdoors with good friends, good food, and a bottle of Central Otago Pinot.
