Two Paddocks Pinot Noir 2022
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
“We grow our premium Two Paddocks Pinot Noir entirely on our four small Vineyards in Central
Otago. In some exceptional vintages, listening carefully, we realize that one of these may have
something extraordinary to say in its own right. It is only then that we will make one of these
very rare single vineyard wines.” Sam Neill
The flagship from Two Paddocks – an organically grown barrel selection from the estate
properties. In 2018 this wine was produced from the four Neill family vineyards, 27% The
Fusilier (Bannockburn), 22% The Last Chance (Alexandra), 29% The Red Bank (Alexandra) and
22% The First Paddock (Gibbston). These small sites are high-density planted in a range of
clonal material cropped to under 5 Ton per hectare with most vineyard practices carried out by
hand.
Hand harvested, 75% de-stemmed and given a 7 day pre-fermentation cold maceration. After
an indigenous ferment the wine is given another 5-7 days post ferment time on skins. Wine is
then transferred to 1-4 (20% new oak) year old French medium toast barriques for a 10-month
maturation, before racking and bottling.

This wine shows black currant, ripe red plum fruit and spicy aromatics following through to a
rich plush but elegantly textured mouthfeel with great density, persistence and poise.
