Rod Easthope Central Otago Pinot Noir 2014
About the wine
Seriously special Pinot from a Parker point scoring talent
- If you haven't heard of Rod, you'd better catch up quick - this medal winning, Parker point scoring talent is BIG news. Throw some of the very best grapes in New Zealand into the mix, and you're in for something seriously special.
- Be prepared - this Pinot slips down VERY easily. Think ripe cherry 'n' berry flavors with a delicious peppery bite. Oh lordy! I want a glass right now.
- Angels went nuts for the last vintage of this stuff, and little wonder. Divine with crispy roast duck - but even better in a glass with your feet up.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rod Easthope
- Rod left his full-time post as Chief Winemaker at Craggy Range, New Zealand's most iconic winery, to set-up-shop alone and make an exclusive range of wines just for us, using the BEST grapes that Hawke's Bay, Marlborough and Central Otago have to offer.
- Rod is an immense talent, whose wines are dripping in medals, rave journalist reviews and oodles of Parker Points - and he can now strike out on his own thanks to Angel funding and backing!
- This is a huge win because Rod is at the pinnacle of New Zealand winemaking. Your tastebuds are in for an incredible treat.
