Founded in 1993 by acclaimed actor Sam Neill, Two Paddocks is a premier boutique winery located in the Central Otago region of New Zealand. Driven by Neill's genuine passion for viticulture, the estate specialises in world-class Pinot Noir and elegant Riesling. Two Paddocks is deeply committed to traditional, sustainable farming practices, holding full organic certification.
The 2024 Two Paddocks Picnic Pinot Noir was made from grapes sourced from Two Paddock’s estate vineyards in the Alexandra, Gibbston and Bannockburn sub-regions of Central Otago. Picnic Pinot Noir is made in a diminutive style aimed to reflect the characters that Central Otago Pinot does so very well; black and red cherry fruit, alluring spice and a generosity that keeps you reaching for the next sip.
"An enticing bouquet of fresh red berry fruits led by dark cherry and boysenberry then seams of savoury dried herb and wild red flowers. On the a palate - a wine of freshness and youthful, fine textures from tannins and vigor from the acid line. Flavours of red berries and some plum mirror the bouquet with an overall brightness and youthful poise. Ready to drink from day of purchase through 2029. 92 Points, Premium"- Cam Douglas MS, camdouglasms.com
