Grasshopper Rock Central Otago Pinot Noir 2010
About the wine
.
- Phil's first ever wine won him 92 points from the biggest guru of them all, Robert Parker. It's no wonder the French are having trouble sleeping when New Zealanders are making wines as stunning as this
- Forget expensive Burgundy - you MUST try this world-class, single vineyard Pinot Noir. You'll never go back
- Phil's working without Angel funding so no Angel discount applies, but we promise you won't find Central Otago Pinot this good anywhere else for the price
