Rod Easthope Central Otago Pinot Noir 2015
About the wine
A tiny bottling of New Zealand Pinot - best served in a large glass
- The master has done it again. Rod created a small-batch beauty that will send Pinot lovers into a spin, sourced from a high-altitude site in the Bendigo sub-region of New Zealand.
- Central Otago is drenched in plenty of sun, and it gives this wine intense flavor and a supple structure. Rod expertly mixed succulent flavors with a ripe fruit finish - and with a notoriously delicate varietal like Pinot, that doesn't happen easily!
- Angels lap up this top shelf Pinot quicker than you can say 'kiwi.' You'd be wise to collect some for your own collection soon – your funding created something incredible special... and it's definitely worth raising a glass to that!
Best before

Serving advice
A large glass is the key. Open at slightly less than room temperature, and watch the flavors and aromas emerge!
Food match
This wine is made for wild game fowl i.e. duck, pheasant, quail, guinea fowl. But it can also match salmon as well.
