Dark purple with purple hues. Lovely aromatics of red currants, boysenberries and dried herb with hints of violets, tobacco and cloves. Medium bodied with cherries, raspberries, liquorice and concentrated flavours of tobacco and spice. This wine is finely textured with savoury notes and a lovely mineral acidity on the finish.
Grasshopper Rock is a small Central Otago wine producer, dedicated exclusively to the production of first class, single vineyard Pinot Noir. Located among a small cluster of the Worlds southern most vineyards, the site is one of the hottest, coldest and driest in Central Otago.
Central Otago has quickly established itself as ground zero for Pinot Noir in New Zealand-in the words of Jancis Robinson, “many believe this is where the Pinot grail is to be found”.
