Takapoto Estate is based on the banks of the Waikato River but it gets its award winning Pinot Noir grapes from some of the best locations in Central Otago. Planted on historic 19th century goldmines and overlooking the breath-taking Felton Road. These hand-picked grapes are subject to hands-off winemaking, undergoing wild fermentation to capture the terroir of this remarkable vineyard site. Matured in French oak, this wine delivers a full body and complex structure. It is silky smooth on the palate with flavours of black cherry, plum and complimentary savoury notes to give it a lingering finish. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. This is a wonderful celebration wine - an expression of just how good NZ Pinot Noir can be.
