The 2022 Two Paddocks The First Paddock Pinot Noir is a refined and elegant single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Central Otago, New Zealand, crafted from organically grown grapes in the original Gibbston vineyard. It reflects a cool-climate style with purity, finesse and aromatic complexity. The nose is perfumed and vibrant, showing fresh strawberry, red berries and cherry, layered with notes of forest floor, orange blossom and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky, velvety tannins and a refined texture. Juicy red fruit and mineral nuances are balanced by bright acidity, leading to a long, fresh and beautifully poised finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A premium Pinot Noir for customers who enjoy Burgundy or elegant New World styles. It’s all about finesse rather than power—drink now or cellar for 5–10 years. Perfect with duck, lamb or mushroom dishes.
