Two Paddocks Picnic Pinot Noir 2022

Winemaking
Sourced from the certified organic Two Paddocks estate vineyards in Alexandra, Gibbston, and Bannockburn, the 2022 Picnic Pinot Noir is made for earlier enjoyment while staying true to the estate’s philosophy of site-driven, sustainable winemaking. Hand-harvested and fermented with wild yeasts, the wine is gently handled and aged in older French oak to preserve its vibrant fruit and fresh energy.

Bouquet
Aromatic and bright with notes of red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, lifted by subtle floral hints and a touch of thyme and baking spice.

Palate
Light to medium-bodied with silky tannins and a juicy, red-fruited core. The palate is fresh and lively, offering spice, soft earthiness, and a long, elegant finish.

Food Pairing
This Pinot is perfect with Mediterranean mezze, chargrilled lamb skewers, herbed lentil salad, or a simple mushroom and thyme tart. Its Central Otago vibrancy also complements New Zealand favourites like lamb burgers or beetroot and feta salad.

Cellaring
Designed for drinking now through 2026. Enjoy its youthful charm while the fruit is at its brightest.
