Two Paddocks Pinot Noir

Aromas of spice, currant, and dark chocolate. A juicy cherry mouthfeel matches perfectly with the grippy bitterness of cocoa. A long and luxurious feel on the palate will remind you of your favorite cherry jam colliding with black tea. Two Paddocks is a boutique, family-owned winery founded by actor and wine enthusiast Sam Neill in 1993. Focused on small-production, organic viticulture, Two Paddocks produces some of Central Otago’s most distinctive and terroir-driven Pinot Noirs.
