Layers of aroma with dark cherry, florals, rich herbals, cocoa and earth notes. There is a lovely vibrancy to the wine, underpinned with density and mineral, savoury undertones. Supple and textural tannins partner the expressive fruit and extend through the palate. Enjoyable now, this wine will also reward cellaring to 7+ years.

Continental climate marked by hot summers and cold winters. There is a classic diurnal shift in temperatures between day and night during the growing season that retains bright acidity whilst ensuring even ripening of the grapes. Central Otago has a perfect growing environment in terms of low disease pressure. Low rainfall, free draining soils contribute to concentration of fruit flavours and intensity.

Moonlight Race is a combination of Pinot Noir sourced from our trio of estate vineyards: Burn Cottage Vineyard in Lowburn, and the Sauvage and Sappa Vineyards in
Bannockburn. Each vineyard contributes unique
characteristics to the blend, resulting in a vibrant
expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir.
