Waitaki Valley is a newer cooler viticultural site south of Central Otago. My first wine from here. Still with the same aromatic profile - rhubarb notes. Not dissimilar to Otago- just a little leaner.

Excellent quality, earthy with bright red fruit, classic Pinot structure. Reminiscent of Beaune or Aloxe.

Beautiful bold wine from north otago. It has the raw power of limestone combined with hints of raspberry and plum. Powerful aroma. Pick a meat that can stand up to the wine. It almost tastes like a Rhone blend in my opinion.
