Tasting Notes

The nose shows complex interplay between notes of mocha, dark fruit and dried herbs. The palate is layered and rich with Doris plum, red cherry and bramble characters supported by fine tannins and a long finish.

A serious, single-site Central Otago Pinot Noir that punches well above its price.

Why you'll love it: All the perfume and silk you want from Central Otago Pinot Noir, with the structure to drink now or hold for a few years. A genuine cellar-worthy red without the flagship price tag.

The Vineyard

The fruit is grown on the L'Attitude Vineyard in the Pisa sub-region of the Cromwell basin. Grapes were hand-picked in early April 2024, fully destemmed and fermented in barrel, then aged in French oak (28% new). The wine is vegan friendly and will cellar for five years or more.

About Nevis Bluff

Nevis Bluff has been a Central Otago specialist since 1998, named for the rugged rock bluff that guards the gorge road into the region. The wines are grown on the L'Attitude Vineyard on the shores of Lake Dunstan, in the Pisa sub-region of the Cromwell basin, planted in Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc and certified sustainable through Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand. From the 2024 vintage, the wines are crafted by acclaimed Central Otago winemaker Matt Connell, known for expressive, site-driven wines built on quality and consistency.

Perfect with veal, duck or other red meat dishes, followed by a wedge of brie. The fine tannins and savoury fruit make it a natural at the dinner table.
