Grasshopper Rock Central Otago Pinot Noir 2009
About the wine
Wine Advisor's Top Tip
- The whole vineyard is dedicated exclusively to the production of this first class, single-vineyard Pinot Noir, which has lashings of ripe, rich red cherry fruit, with an earthy kick of smokey licorice.
- The first ever vintage of this wine was awarded an astonishing 92 points by Robert Parker - which for a new kid on the block is nothing short of stellar.
- This is a cracking match for a delicious piece of duck breast, preferably with a big plate of game chips lying alongside it.
