About Explorer Central Otago Pinot Noir

This Central Otago Pinot Noir from organically-farmed Domaine Thomson in the Lowburn sub-region is elegant and concentrated, with bright acidity, fine tannins, and notes of sweet cherry, thyme, and rhubarb. It's a complex, dry wine with youthful dusty tannins and a fresh finish that lets the fruit really shine. Head to their 14-hectare certified organic vineyard nestled in the heart of Central Otago, open daily from 11 am to 5 pm, where they also pour wines from Burgundy.
